Yeah. Those "millions of workers" are the only ones who lost money. No doubt got sent home without pay for the duration.
Employers lose a pittance over one day, probably make it up in the following days. Employees? Screwed. Short paychecks.

Amazon makes almost no money from its storefront; all the money is in selling is cloud services to other customers.
And those customers lose money when the cloud falls over. Some of them, lots of money.

Which is for the best. Those people are complete bullshit artists. I have about as much faith in alchemy.
I don't trust that any serious analysis has gone into calculating losses here. Journalists, who could not calculate such a figure if they tried, are uncritically parroting a figure quoted them by an "expert." Hoe impressed are you with the experts these days?

To me, this is like asserting that billions are lost every time there's a snow day. Salaried employees who are doing serious work with deadlines typically have to make up for lost time (whatever the cause) with additional work once the obstacle is resolved. If the system is down Wednesday for whatever reason, my Saturday is going to end up looking a lot like Wednesday otherwise would have looked, assuming I cannot somehow cram Wednesday's workload into Thursday and Friday. I think the idea that these stoppages (unless prolonged for a significant period of time) represent losses that can't be mitigated in whole or part is very dubious.

As usual, about 3 hours or so worth of work to deal with this morning, so will see you all on the Morning Report.
Thanks for hearing me out yesterday (or at least scrolling past without comment). I'm sorry to be such a one-note crank. As I said, I'm hoping that once I finally retire in mid-February, all (or most) of this sadness and hoplessness will, as George Harrison said, blow away. If not, then time to change anti-depressants.

It was not fun.
Tired when I got to work and even more tired when I returned home.
Thankfully, my commute now is from the shower to the computer desk. Two days a week I’ll have to drive over and check in to update progress.
That’s only a 15 minute trek, though.

I live on 100 acres. Was able to sell my house in the city for a ridiculous amount and move onto wife's family's land. Built our retirement home. I've been with my company 36 years. Have four left until I can retire with full SS.
And no real work/employment out here.

That’s understandable then.
Three days a week makes it better, at least.
Sounds nice though.
You’ll have a nice retirement once the grind ends.
I’d like to live out in the middle of nowhere some day. The only drawback is having to drive to get to civilization when needed,
I lived out in the boonies near a lake for a year or so in the 90s. It was nice until I had to drive a half-hour just to get food.

I see that occasionally. Folks come into town from the country and buy a months's worth of stuff. You need an extra fridge/freezer or two, and a generator for when the electricity fails.
I don't remember the exact names, but two brothers were named something like "Goodboy and Shithead." Goodboy became a criminal and Shithead became a police officer.

I did a lot of board-level fiber routing and mech packaging during the optical telecom boom.
Man that stuff is dense. Keeping all those fiber ends clean is damn near impossible and they look like they are single mode with a very small core.
Plus they look like E2000 connectors that use a metal ferrule that is very difficult to inspect.
I reckon it will be a box that no one will be allowed to touch once it's up and running and rightly so.
Gonna share this with some of my old homies from back in the day.

It's much more intuitive than Adobe Illustrator, for me anyhow.
And as a plus, you can still buy CorelDRAW and PhotoPaint as a package for a lifetime license. They offer a monthly-priced "Suite" like Creative Cloud, but I'm all for a one-time purchase over subscriptions.
For anybody who doesn't want to pay the Adobe tax, Corel is still a decent option, IMHO.

- Letter to William Dean Howells, 13 February 1903
Not all summers were equal. What is that mediocre movie that ran on repeat all summer in your youth? Somehow, you watched it every time? You know, the one you can quote word-for-word?

Mini Rant (a true rant would require...more attention). Attention span and lack thereof. Article quotes the predictable, boring "fixes" that seem to get published for every human malady. I have an idea for the afflicted: Try harder.
Not long ago, there were reports comparing human attention spans unfavorably to those of a fish. It was claimed the average attention span for a goldfish was just nine seconds — a whole second longer than the average attention span for a person. First, it was an unfair attack on goldfish, who have demonstrated an impressive capacity for memorizing directions. Second, if you manage to get past the second paragraph of this article, you may have just proved the stat wrong.Summary of the study here.
47% say that “deep thinking” has become a thing of the past – roughly double the proportion who disagree with this view (23%)
Hat tip to commenter, Idaho Spudboy for the topic. Yellowstone "Zone of Death."
Deep in Yellowstone National Park lies a 50-square-mile strip of Idaho known as the “Zone of Death,” where a legal quirk could, in theory, let someone dodge prosecution for serious crimes like murder. First flagged by law professor Brian C. Kalt in 2005, this loophole stems from a clash between federal jurisdiction and the Constitution’s Sixth Amendment, sparking debate about justice in America’s wildest corners.Another take on the "Zone of Death."
Michael Belderrain illegally shot an elk in Montana in 2005 and cited Kalt’s article as a defense in 2007. Belderrain was standing in Yellowstone when he pulled the trigger and then dragged the elk to his truck parked in Yellowstone. Belderrain was indicted in the Wyoming District and objected that he had a right to be tried by jurors from Montana, which is actually possible, as the Montana portion of Yellowstone is (sparsely) inhabited by people. Instead of trying to call such a jury in a loosely populated portion of Montana and argue why the Sixth Amendment did not entitle Belderrain to such a trial, the court dismissed the argument, supposedly because it would imply the Yellowstone Zone of Death contained a loophole. Ultimately, Belderrain took a plea deal and the issue was left unresolved. For now, the loophole remains for Kalt’s imagined “perfect crime,” with the perpetrator potentially walking away freely.

A group of masked burglars successfully pulled off one of the most daring heists in modern memory, stealing eight French crown jewels from the Louvre in broad daylight.Some good photographs here of the jewels.
According to an official communiqué from the Ministère de la Culture de la République française, the following historical pieces from the Joyaux de la Couronne de France were stolen from the Musée du Louvre: Diadème de la parure de la reine Marie-Amélie et de la reine Hortense
Collier de la parure de saphirs de la reine Marie-Amélie et de la reine Hortense
Boucle d’oreille (d’une paire) de la parure de saphirs de la reine Marie-Amélie et de la reine Hortense
Collier en émeraudes de la parure de Marie-Louise
Paire de boucles d’oreilles en émeraudes de la parure de Marie-Louise
Broche dite broche reliquaire
Diadème de l’impératrice Eugénie
Grand nœud de corsage de l’impératrice Eugénie (broche)

There's a story, possibly untrue, that when Mailer's The Naked and the Dead (which used "fug") was a best-seller, he attended a New York cocktail party. One of the guests -- it sounds like a Dorothy Parker-ism -- said, "Oh, so this is the young man who doesn't know how to spell 'fuck'."

About 2 years ago i was sitting at the desk playing guitar and mrs b pokes her head in and says something about relics on tour. I said what, the Stones are touring again? No she says and repeats herself. Well, bad string of words to a musician, and again I focus on relics are on tour. I said is that a metal band? NOOOO asshole, the church...has relics...on tour..and they are local. She wants to go see them. Ok, why didn't you say that? So I go, and wow. They got shit loads on tables. Bone fragments from saints, they are class 1 relics. They also got things the saints owned, pieces of cloth, part of a staff, etc. These are class 2 relics. Anything you touch to these relics becomes a class 3 relic.

KJP and Kamala and most Democrats are only smart enough to go about three talking points deep in live conversations. If they can't escape a conversation after reciting those three talking points, everything else they say is a variation of ah-huminna-huminna-hummina-hummina...

I've watched KJP in a few of these interviews now and she is reciting the same blocks of nonsense and using the same gestures in every one of them, regardless of the question.

A long time ago, I asked my small town DJ why he didn't play Black Bear Road. He told me it was due to the reference of the dog making a yellow hole in the snow, which might upset some listeners.
It was a simpler time, back then.

Which reminds me of "I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home." A wife tells her drunk husband that, since he loves his bar so much, she's going to redo their home in its image. I've forgotten the female singer, but the song is a masterpiece of working its concept out to the nth degree in the lyrics.

He started shouting F*ck repeatedly. I'm about 10 years older than him and did not help the situation by laughing my ass off. My parents were NOT amused LOL

I see people touching everything to these relics. A cop touching his badge, women touching pictures, jewelry, rosaries, etc. I got nothing, just keys. Then I remember a pocket of guitar picks I always carry, so I touched a whole stack to everything, including what they claim to be a piece of the cross. I charged them up good, and my keys. So now I leave with a pile of semi worn class 3 relic powered guitar picks. I put them on my computer desk in a separate area, put a few in my pocket, and then spent 2 years staring at them. Every weekend I see the prayer list here and then my eyes go to those picks. Then last year the idea hit me, bring some to the mome for a few of the horde that really could use it. I didn't make it last year, but I did this year, and the 2 people that really stuck in my mind this year was Sponge's wife Kelly, and Theresa. I did have a few extra, so 2 others got them as well. On the surface, they are half used guitar picks. I spent years tossing them to people, but none were special like this. These babies got mojo, and I can't think of a better use for them.

Our 2nd daughter came home for lunch one day, leaned in close and said, "The boys are using the "F" word on the playground."
I was a little disappointed, because I had hoped she would be able to stay child like for a few more years.
I said, "I'm sorry they are saying that and upsetting you."
She then leaned in even closer and said, "They keep saying fart!"

The hilarious thing about all of that is the context. We knew what she was saying and meant. She knew what she was saying, and meant. But, the context of the situations in which she would use it were legend. A waiter brings her some food in a restaurant...eye contact and "thank you/ f*ck you".

I was maybe less than thirteen when, one day, up at the lake, we were chucking rocks into the water (no good skippers to be found). Uphill from me, my step-brother picks up a big sort-flat rock, which, naturally, lands smack on top of my head. I let loose with a torrent of words that I didn't even realize I knew! Fortunately, I don't think any of the adults heard me.
Doc, friend of Dad's, said if he had his kit with him, he'd put a stitch in it. I probably still have a scar but still have my hair, so I don't know.
Cussin' story #2
Mom must have been in her late eighties when she happened to mention a word she said she'd never heard before: m_____f_____. As she walked out of the room all casual like. I don't care how old either of us was, that's a heckuva thing to hear from one's mother — who never cussed that I can (otherwise) recall.

I have none. We were out in sturgis one year and I walked in to a tattoo place out of curiosity. the door was open and you saw people getting tattoos as you walked by. I looked on the wall and there it was.. the holy grail of tattoos as if the universe custom designed it for me. A reaper with the most wicked and detailed skull in a purple hooded robe and holding a blue gibson flying V guitar, the guitar I used most of the time for decades. I would have changed out the colors of the robe and guitar, but it was amazing, it was me. Of all the tattoos on the planet that one was MINE. It would have fit perfect on my upper right arm. It was THEE tattoo for me. Mrs B looks at it, turns to me and says in a low, slow, menacing tone "There is no...fucking...way..I'm waking up to that on the morning." Sigh...I knew she meant business.

I often use doe in heat urine when I am hunting. It states on the bottle, do not use on yourself. There is a good reason for this. Of course I ignore that warning. Was hunting one day. Very calm day, no wind yet multiple times I was hearing does snorting in alarm. They were far enough away I was sure it wasn't me that was spooking them and it was a week day with no other hunters in the area. Multiple times I got a strange, hair on the back of my neck feeling. Gave up just before dusk and walking back to the truck, I got the same eerie feeling. Dropped the tailgate, sat down and unloaded my rifle. I looked up, and a big cat came up the same trail onto the road. He froze looking at me and then crouched. I didn't realize I could load my gun that fast. He jumped and disappeared just as I jacked a shell into the magazine. I still put doe in heat on my person.

This freakout over Trump's new YUGE, classy, luxurious, fine Corinthian leather ballroom is hilarious. $1/4B project, all privately funded to make the WH great again.
I was reviewing all the renovations that have been done on the WH over the years. Hell, Truman had to rebuild the whole thing, the WH proper. They gutted the entire WH, and there are pictures of that. They left the exterior walls standing, and completely rebuilt the interior. Photos show excavators inside, dirt and new steel framing be added all within the husk of the exterior walls.
They had to, the old structure was about to collapse. There were serious structural problems with the second floor structure in danger of collapsing.

Interior of the WH in May, 1950:
https://is.gd/7rDv2n
The second floor of the old WH was in serious danger of collapsing. The Trumans noticed a chandelier would sway when too many people were in one of the rooms. He joked that his bathtub was gonna crash through the floor with him in it.
It was getting bad during FDR, but he sort of dismissed a lot of the problems.
Anyway, there is nothing original in the WH at all, save for the exterior walls. They took to pains to recreate things very faithfully, and even reuse some old stuff when possible, but the basically, the WH is no original at all.

When the work was completed, and the Trumans moved back in, Harry wrote thus in his diary:
"With all the trouble and worry it is worth it – but not 5½ million dollars! if I could have had charge of the construction it would have been done for half the money and in half the time!"
Everybody was pissed at the general contractor, and they barely even mentioned the name. They praised all the subs, but the general was basically persona non grata. His name was stricken from the record.

I've had my first glitch with Linux Mint 22.2 (the latest version). I was using Firefox while on AoS and on a different tab, looking at X. The screen locked up. The mouse could move around but clicking did nothing. Had to power it off. Waited a bit, turned it back on, and I thought it was fine but nope. Same scenario happened. So, I repeated what I did before and while booting up, I got an error message over and over. Looked up error message and apparently Linux Mint 22.2 has problems with Radeon chips. Mine anyway and others after looking up the error message. So, I'll try some steps I saw at Linux Mint forums, tomorrow.

If you want to read a story, look up Winston Churchill claiming to have seen Lincoln's ghost in the WH -- while he was buck naked after getting out of the bath.
He said he walked out into the bedroom, and saw Honest Abe standing there next to the fireplace. He claimed to have said to the ghost, "Good evening, Mr. President, you seem to have me at a disadvantage."

Thing is, if one were being completely anal about it, one would torque the screws to the specified torque value, and leave the slots where they wind up. Setting the slots all vertical, or all horizontal would almost guaranteee that some were under or over torqued.

Those are the ones I use. the backlit ones where the letters light up. Real nice until the letters wear away and you're left with rows of black keys with perfect glowing large white dots on the keys. The one I got now is still good, but the 7 key popped off and I can't get it back on. It just lays there and is ok, it works, but if I hit it too hard it launches up and lands somewhere else. I have to take the whole thing apart to reattach it. I like the backlit ones. They are quiet too.

You haven't lived until a bong falls over into a glass of coke and both pour into your keyboard. Funny thing, I ran it under the sink to wash it out, blew it out with compressed air, let it dry overnight and poof, back in service. That was a regular old dell keyboard from the early 2000s.

Share with me.
My brother felt that I had it easy taking care of my parents for 14 years. My friend Sammy took me to his trailer so I could get out of the house. I cried when I did the math and realized that was my first time out of the house in 9.9 years.
But I was coddled and had an easy life.
I no longer have family. No one checked on me and I'll only be called for funerals. Screw that.
My friends across the street have been amazing to me. They have been feeding me and keeping me alive. Mom and I have been great friends to them. That's going to continue...

I just stumbled across the infamous Mars Bluff, SC nuclear incident in 1958. The Air Force accidentally dropped a nuclear bomb on a farm community in Florence county, SC. The "physics package" wasn't installed, kept separately, but the conventional implosion explosive did go off on impact, making a bit crater, damaging buildings, killing chickens, and injuring several people with shrapnel.
It was a Slim Pickens type incident. There was some fault with the bomb harness mechanism. The bombardier/navigator went in the bomb bay to try to secure it, and accidentally knocked it loose. It fell on the bomb bay doors, knocking them open, and the bomb dropped on that farm.
The bombardier managed to hang on and not fall out with it, like Slim.
That was just a WOW!

Posted by: tcn, Pickle Queen of AK at October 22, 2025 02:16 AM (urtE/)
Now, question is, what would have happened if the physics package was installed? Would it have caused a real nuclear explosion? Probably not, because the implosion explosive timing has to be down to the microsecond to generate the correct compressive shock wave, and the inadvertent detonation would've been way off.
It would however, have scattered plutonium all over the area, rendering it uninhabitable.

Taking care of one's parents is not easy. I saw how hard it was with my grandparents. I saw (and helped when asked) when a brother was taking care of my dad. It's not right for family that is not taking care of parents to claim the life of the sibling(s) taking care of elderly parents is easy, especially if those other siblings don't have to give baths, change parents' clothes and diapers, and take care of their other daily needs.

The closer I look at the video, the more it seems you're probably right...
1. Cougar wouldn't be interested in candy (cats can't taste sweet)
2. When it jumps up, seems a little off with the physics.
3. Doesn't knock over the witch or the candy container, just slightly pushes it; candy inside container is not the least bit disturbed.
4. As it runs into the bushes, the bushes are not disturbed at all...

No evidence of a leak. Just now replaced the fuel pressure regulator, since that was the easiest first part to replace. There was a small.amount of fuel in it, but definitely no pressure on the fuel line or fuel rail. I am probably going to replace the fuel pump also, since it is a good ten years old. It just seems odd that the vehicle starts and runs but not enough fuel pressure at the rail to even dribble from the schrader valve. Ibguess it is possible the the valve stem in the schrader valve is bad, but they don't usually fail....

Took care of hubby for 4 years at home after quitting my job, but then his mental and physical state became more than I could handle alone. 24hr supervision is $$$$. Even more than nursing home! So... moved him to a place nearby, where he can have a whole team of help, 24/7, and I can see him every day.
He still knows who he is & who I am. Just has no sense of time or date, and no problem-solving ability; cannot recognize unsafe situations. Stuff like that.

Progressives will work so hard to rip up the constitution and tear up the fabric of Western civilization, but cry about a building remodel. Of a building they always tell us was built by slaves!
Never mind one of the presidents did a remodel of the WH that pretty much gutted it to the outside walls. I think it was Truman.

My big tom will sit in the hallway and yowl at around 4am because the kitten is sleeping on the bed, and he feels that is his place or he wants the kitten to come and play.
I have taken to picking the big arsed cat up and putting him on the bed so they can be near each other. It seems to work. Eventually they both get down and patrol the house.

Totally OT of anything we ever discuss, but I was wowed by this guy I've followed off and on for a few years.
Charlie was some teenager who fooled around on social media and made like $55k over two years. His posts are sometimes hilarious, unsparingly self-revealing, apolitical (I can't find him endorsing or going left or right anywhere, mostly the "leave me alone" type), and current. He caught on, and by the time he'd been at it for something like 10-12 years, he'd racked up ~$36mil.
He recently demonetized all his accounts and told his followers, "Look, I'm rich beyond anything I ever conceived or intended, go spend that Membership and Superchat money on something you need."
Wild.

Yep. Now, tell me if this is total BS, because I truly don't know: He told me I have two different brands of tires, and minor differences in tires can cause excessive vibration on the differential and create problems like this.
It sounds dumb to me, if they are the same size tire, but then I realized this problem didn't start until I had oil change with tire rotation three weeks ago. I know correlation does not equal causation, but...

Well, he is actually right. With an AWD it is super critical to match ALL 4 tires. The size theoretically should be the same on paper between 2 brands, but in reality its a crap shoot and may not be the case. The most recent harley I bought needed a rear tire. I ordered the same brand that was on the front, and it had a matching rear tire. Anyway, the new rear tire comes in. I dismount the old tire and laid it next to the new one. The old tire was a full 1 inch wider. It grew a full inch over time. The front was normal, but the back has a lot of weight on it, so it changed more than the front.

Yep. Think about it - a fraction of an inch larger around tire will not have to rotate as much to go as far as the smaller, and awd systems rely on differences in rotation speed to activate...

Matthew 16:17-19 is somewhat of a debate between Catholics and Protestants as to Peter being called the rock and its significance. But that’s for another day. Ultimately John 1:42 IMVHO puts that to rest.

To paraphrase Evan Powell:
John 1-20 makes use of chiasmus and parallelism to associate Peter with Judas - and Stan himself - in the Passion account. Peter also leaves after the denials of Jesus without weeping. And then he isn't seen again until racing the Beloved Disciple to the empty tomb, where Peter sees but the B.D. sees and believes. Other accounts which just makes Peter look bad.
John 21 then does "okay, nah, never mind all that, let's rehab Peter" without very many parallels to other Gospels or even Apostolic traditions until late.
Hence Powell's suspicion that it belongs with Mark instead.

It seems the idea is that the higher up on the tree they can leave their mark, the more terrifying it is for other pandas, thus keeping interlopers out of their territory. To ensure maximum elevation of splattering urine, (that's probably not a phrase any of you expected to read today,) they do handstands up against the tree when relieving themselves. Being that they are pandas, the most inelegant of all the ursines, the process can be rather entertaining to watch.

I built my brother a full blown custom harley in 2000-2001. he didn't use it much but we put Metzeler tires on it, which were great tires. He didn't use it much, maybe 2k miles since it was built, and I finally ended up with it last year. Same tires, no dry rot. I pulled a Dunlop back tire off one of my other bikes a few years ago, and that was from the 90's. Again, not many miles, and no dry rot. I'm not sure if it's because they are garage kept, or they just make really good tires, because I get bikes come in with other brands and the tires got more cracks in them than pelosi's face.

To find the date a tire was made, look for the tire date code on the sidewall, which is a four-digit number. The first two digits represent the week of the year, and the last two digits indicate the year, such as "1422" meaning the 14th week of 2022.

After the tires being maybe half worn on my old Honda CRV -- had a sidewall puncture and needed a replacement tire. Took it to Costco where I purchased them, and they put a new tire on.
A few minutes later I start noticing a noise that I assume is the transmission starting to go out; took it to a transmission specialist, and he tells me that on an AWD like that it can't have different size tires or it wrecks your transfer case.
BTW, this is why 4WD and AWD vehicles don't have those little tiny spares -- only full-sized ones.
I never read the Costco paperwork before, and it says that they recommend you by four new tires if you have to replace one. Another option I've heard is that you can have someone shave the new tire to the size of the other three.

DEI Dum-Dum Who Debated Charlie Kirk and Then Glorified His Murder Booted Out as President of Prestigious Oxford Debating Society
At least he had the class to accept the 2/3rds no-confidence vote gracefully.
I'm just kidding, he's claiming the vote was rigged. The New York Post from September:Oxford student George Abaraonye, who is the president of the historic debate club founded in 1823, callously cheered when he heard Kirk was shot and killed -- and is now facing the repercussions. "Charlie Kirk got shot, let's f--king go," Abaraonye, 20, posted on WhatsApp on Wednesday. "Charlie Kirk got shot loool," the depraved debater wrote on Instagram in another message.What made this especially sociopathic is that the two men had just met and debated a few months before. Charlie Kirk was no accumulation of pixels, he'd actually shaken this degenerate animal's hand. And he celebrated when Kirk was murdered.
The third year Philosophy, Politics, and Economics undergrad met Kirk and debated face-to-face back in May, during which the president-elect showed up in sweatpants and a T-shirt. Abaraonye challenged Kirk to expand on his claims that younger generations of boys are being negatively affected by the wider culture, which tamps down masculinity. "It's a very good faith question, thank you," Kirk said to Abaraonye while they squared off over podiums. The two did come to loggerheads over the issue of "infantilization of young men" and "toxic femininity," which Abarayone suggested was a byproduct of an "oppressive system." When asked what could contribute to happiness in men is, in part, "openness to allowing men to express themselves any way they want."Obviously, someone who is interested in debate should not also be fans of murdering people who beat your dumb DEI ass in a debate. And the Oxford Union has wisely -- finally -- agreed with that. After the degenerates' emails were leaked, revealing that he hates Oxford and the UK itself, and ran to become president of the Oxford Union out of sheer racial spite.
The president-elect of the Oxford Union has lost a no-confidence vote after he was criticised for comments appearing to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk.Oh, it "appeared" that way, did it? "Charlie Kirk got shot, let's f***ing go!!!"
Pride goeth.
The motion against George Abaraonye had met the required two-thirds threshold to oust the student from his position, the society has announced. ... Mr Abaraonye is disputing the no-confidence vote, telling the BBC people campaigning to oust him had "unsupervised access" to the email account collecting proxy ballots.
... According to the Telegraph, Mr Abaraonye posted a message on Instagram which read "Charlie Kirk got shot loool" - an elongated version of the phrase 'lol' which means 'laughing out loud'. ... Last week, Mr Abaraonye said he had submitted the motion of no confidence in himself, with voting taking place over the weekend.
A notice published by extraordinary returning officer Donovan Lock on Tuesday said 1,228 ballots were cast in favour of no confidence, while 501 were against. The notice stated the president-elect was deemed to have resigned in accordance with Oxford Union's rules. Proceedings were informally suspended early on Monday after the returning officer was allegedly subjected to "obstruction, intimidation, and unwarranted hostility by a number of representatives", a notice said. In a statement, Mr Abaraonye claimed the count had been halted because electoral officials believed "no legitimate and true result could be reached as a result of procedural failures". "We unequivocally deny that any representative appointed by George engaged in intimidating or disruptive behaviour," his statement stated. It said the "extremely serious issues" had been referred to the disciplinary committee on Monday afternoon and that Mr Abaraonye remained president-elect.In other words, he's crying -- get this -- "racism." No one could have possibly seen that one coming.
As I mentioned, this psychopathic token was defenestrated after his emails were leaked, showing him to be -- get this -- a hateful and malignant person.
"George is proud and thankful to have the support of well in excess of a majority of students at Oxford, who voted to have a safe election and resist attempts to subvert democracy," his statement added. ... On Friday, Mikey McCoy, Kirk's former chief of staff, read out an open letter to the Oxford Union on The Charlie Kirk Show podcast. It accused the union of becoming a place where "presidents of the union publicly celebrate the assassination of a political opponent". The letter said that if Mr Abaraonye were to remain in post, Kirk's allies would "personally contact every American political speaker who has ever graced the union's chamber and urge them never again to lend their name, time or reputation to that institution that has betrayed its founding ideals".
The controversial president-elect of the Oxford Union -- the world's most prestigious debate club -- once endorsed the claim that Queen Elizabeth perpetuated "genocide" and said he "hates" the famed organization he now leads, texts obtained by The Post reveal. George Abaraonye, an Oxford University student who became infamous after he celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk just months after the two debated, claimed in leaked WhatsApp text messages that he only sought the presidency of the vaunted Oxford Union because of "hate." "If u hate it then you should run for the presidency!!!!" one Oxford student wrote in a group WhatsApp chat with members of the debating society, which was founded in 1823.
"Real lol that's what I did," answered Abaraonye, 20, who was elected in June. In another message from the chat which included from Oxford, Trinity College, and Keble College, Abaraonye endorsed the idea that Queen Elizabeth was a perpetrator of "genocide and famine." "Bro low-key the day before the Queen died I did a massive post about her being implicit in genocide and famine and just a big thing about imperialism," one person wrote in the chat. "And then when she died so many people got angry at me because they thought that I somehow killed the queen because of bad vibes," the Oxford student continued, referencing the monarch's September 2022 death.
"Based," Abaraonye said in response to the tasteless message, using slang for unapologetic approval. The leftist also expressed an antipathy for "white establishments." "But I don't frequent white establishments so I don't have firsthand experience," he wrote regarding "Indie Fridays," a monthly concert series at Oxford University.

Guess what? Right up from ace's post, which quotes the BBC:
>>"We unequivocally deny that any representative appointed by George engaged in intimidating or disruptive behaviour," his statement stated.
This was originally, from Abaraonye's statementL
"We equivocally deny that any representative appointed by George engaged in intimidating or disruptive behaviour."
EQUIVOCALLY, meaning in a way that is open to more than one interpretation, ambiguous, or uncertain.
The BBC corrected it for him.

It's all fake and gay. And they keep bringing in really stupid people. Not in the "I disagree with this person therefore he's stupid" but as in not especially intelligent, informed, or capable of critical thinking. How does it help "the black community" to have their "achievers" be functionally illiterate, violent, racist, and barely able to speak the English language in a coherent manner? Is it somehow sticking it to The Man to put someone who acts like a hoodrat through college and have them come out exactly the same?

Oxford is a bit strange in that which college of Oxford you attend affects the rep of your degree in the UK. Outside, like in the US, most people simply see Oxford, not so in UK, Australia, etc.
If you google around, you can find unofficial rankings and the Norrington Tables actually deal with exam result rankings.

This George kid has a corrosive chip on his shoulder. Hope he can find a way to let that burden of hate go one day. I bet he sees racism everywhere on campus. I'm sure some is there. But a lot more of the discrimination at Oxford is probably just class based, and a general "outsider vs insider" mentality at these schools that goes well beyond race.
It can be satisfying to rip on the impossible situation higher education has placed themselves in. They get themselves into these messes on their own. But it's also a tragedy so see all the great institutions get ripped down, especially higher ed. Education should be sacrosanct, and instead has been ravaged by the progressive woke.

Yes indeed. War industry is civilian and also, to those who care about such things, a legitimate military target.
Modern industrial warfare makes the distinction difficult. All-of-society total war like WWII was makes the distinction impossible.
Total war means *everyone* is a military target, because *everyone* is working on the war. There's no difference between a factory and an airfield, or between an apartment building and a barracks.
Total war is an unpleasant game.

90s valley girl speak infecting all the youth nationwide was its own strange fun thing. But the brain rot spoken by today's gen alpha generation deserves a special trophy for ridiculousness. For example:
"..."6-7" is a slang term used by Gen Alpha that has no definitive meaning, originating from the song "Doot Doot (6 7)" by rapper Skrilla and a viral video of NBA player LaMelo Ball. The numbers are linked to Ball's height of 6 feet 7 inches, and the phrase is used as a meaningless interjection or response, with some users linking it to indifference or a "so-so" feeling."

Not really, colonialism was a modern form of mercantilism and was used to exploit the colonies for the economic benefit of the home country. The French right up to last year when the countries in Africa rejected the CFA Franc were an example of how it worked.
everyone applauds the Brits, but they jacked around with local currencies and leaderships to keep the lid on it all and put vicious limits on who and where what could be manufactured and sold - and in doing so got themselves in an economic bind with Asian debts in 1910. The worst were the Belgians who ran a country sized work camp nearly as bad as Pol Pot's wet dreams, and the best seems to have been the Germans and the Italians.

Dresden was mostly British. They took their Lancasters to Dresden and we focused much more on other targets. In part over other disagreements around tactics, IIRC.
Like virtually everything in that war, there wasn't a single reason for anything. The Soviets wanted heavy bombing of eastern Germany, the British wanted vengeance, we wanted to make the Soviets happy, all had their own strategic and tactical preferences, etc.

The RAF bombed at night because they were afraid of being shot down, making “precision bombing.” The US tried precision bombing, but it failed so they fell back to larger incendiary strikes.

Yup, except for the language. Lots of jawboning about "precision bombing." Not the reality.
LeMay never bothered with it. He just firebombed Japan until he had to dial it back in order to leave some targets for the A-Bombs to make an impression.
Except Kyoto. Kyoto was off limits. Had we actually had to invade Japan, I doubt it would have remained so unless it was bargaining chip what would have the inevitable division of Japan with the Soviets.

This is revisionist nonsense. The atrocities in the Congo were mostly the result of Arab slavers from Zanzibar and brutal local warlords. Every place under actual Belgian control improved significantly. The Congo is much worse now than it was when the Belgians were still in control.
Stop listening to commie propaganda. They’ll tell you King Leopold killed twice as many Congolese than even existed at the time. They now claim tens of millions of dead which is not only absurd, but what physically impossible for the small Belgian.
The cutting off of hands pre-dated European contact and was practiced by cannibalistic locals and Arab slavers alike. The Belgians put a stop to it wherever they could.

The Soviets *did* invade Japan. They made a mad dash to do so they could claim half of it after the surrender. Landed on Hokkaido and seized some of the coastal territory at fairly great cost - not because it was well defended (it wasn't - Japan was throwing everything south to fight the US), but because the Soviets had no skill at contested amphibious landings.
But they did get boots on the ground in Japan before the end of the war. Not that it mattered for Stalin.

LeMay actually did give precision bombing a try in Europe, and even early on when he was transferred to the Pacific, but it just didn’t work. The B-29s couldn’t hit their targets so he fell back to area bombing.

Correct. Zanzibar would march her slave grabbing armies across Africa every year from East to West under the red flag and the natives in the way fled in terror whenever they could. Funny how Zanzibar is never mentioned today. Once a canoe full of captured slaves sank and killed a dozen slaves and the Zanzibar Warlord demanded to know if his canoe survived.

Jim Jordan Refers John Brennan to the DOJ for Prosecution Over His Serial Perjuries
"Though the mills of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly fine".
These fictions compiled by Hillary Clinton's Master of Conspiracies Sydney Blumenthal, and then given a Credibility Laundering through Christopher Steele -- do they ring true to the other demented partisans in this room?
Jordan's referral, sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, alleges that Brennan "knowingly and willfully testified falsely" during a May 2023 interview with the Judiciary Committee when he claimed the CIA "was not involved at all" with the Steele dossier -- a Democrat-funded collection of false stories used to smear Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign. But a newly declassified House Intelligence Committee report contradicts that testimony, revealing the CIA worked directly with the FBI to circulate information from the dossier and that Brennan personally intervened to keep it in the intelligence community's 2017 assessment on Russian election interference. That assessment, produced under Brennan's direction, claimed Russia sought to help Trump win -- a conclusion Trump has long dismissed as part of the "Russia hoax." According to declassified CIA memos cited by Jordan, agency analysts warned against including the dossier's unverified material. Brennan, however, insisted it remain, reportedly responding, "Yes, but doesn't it ring true?"
Jordan's letter says that Brennan's testimony "was a brazen attempt to mislead Congress" and that the former CIA chief "intentionally distorted material facts" surrounding his actions. ... Jordan also cited Brennan's 2017 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee -- when he insisted the CIA did not "rely on" the dossier -- as further evidence of a pattern of deception. Though that earlier statement falls outside the five-year statute of limitations, Jordan said Brennan's statements showed "a pattern of willingness to lie to Congress about the Steele dossier."

I can tell you. He testified under oath to Congress that the CIA did not have trust in the Steele dossier and didn't rely or push for it to be included in the ICA.
All of that is a lie. Obama told them to redo the original ICA and include the Steele dossier and Brennan pushed for it to be included knowing it was complete bullshit.

The only way to tell is to run a tank or two of your E15, then a tank or two of the E0, over the same kind of driving. See if the increased price pays for itself in enough gas mileage improvement. I suspect it might well do better than E15 -- that's even more ethanol than the E10 I have here. But if the E0 gas costs 15% more, and you get only 10% improved mileage, it doesn't compute.
I do it anyway because I think it's better for the car's digestion. But I'm probably imagining things.

If you live in a non attainment area cited by the EPA (most urban areas do), then you have a special blend of summer fuel with oxygenate added (ethanol). Post OBD-II cars, made after 1996 don't need the oxygenate because their computers and those after it are perfectly fine with adjusting engine settings to avoid excessive emissions. Pre 1996, some makes, mainly Japanese are also okay.
But the whole oxygenate issue is an artifact of the last time the Clean Air Act was revised in 1991 IIRC. The first one EPA proposed was a disaster as MTBE was a really nasty contaminant of water and quickly shelved in favor of ethanol.
Outside the attainment area, you get cheaper gas during the summer, inside them, more expensive and it can sometimes cause bad problems like when pipelines, hurricanes, etc. disrupt refinery operations. Without a waiver by the president, fuel for Cleveland cannot be sold in Louisville or Atlanta. And vice versa. And refineries base their output on specific markets which means fubar when a non attainment area cannot get its specific summer blend. And it costs more.

True, a little ethanol in the gas will prevent your gas lines freezing from moisture. The ethanol absorbs the water. Not much need for "gas dryer" products any more. It only gets cold enough for that moisture freezing issue to be a concern once a "winter," if then, and the ethanol handles it.

Macs generally work fine until big version changes when it can sometimes be a driver issue if the mfg does not support the newer OS variant. Only happened a couple of times in Mac world, more than several in Windows. Main reason a lot of people run old Windows machines is because they have either programs that won't run on later versions or hardware with the same problem.
The underlying OS of Macs is BSD Unix so you get reliability with refinement. Linux is a bit Wild West for some people but far better than it was.

In 3 years I hope the Dems have the stones to go after bondi, Patel, Jordan, miller and all the trumps. Toss in Hegseth, he's done the exact same thing they've charged Bolton with.
If by some miracle we have normal elections in 2028 and a Democrat wins, Trump/Vance will get hand cramps signing pardons so that can't happen. Just like when Biden did one for his son on the way out
Do they really want to take to trial? Can they use classified material? I think this is meant to bankrupt these people with legal fees.
Republican politicians haven't figured out that they will wind up being pursued by Trump, too. They keep letting this train run and eventually they're going to be on the tracks.
I thought the House was in recess so they couldn't swear in Grijalva? But they can do this shit instead I guess.
BIden pardoning all of those people is looking pretty good at the moment.

5 so far in ED of VA. Harmeet Dhillon has also fired a few in the Civil Rights Division while others have resigned.
From Reuters, "WASHINGTON, July 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department unit charged with defending against legal challenges to signature Trump administration policies - such as restricting birthright citizenship and slashing funding to Harvard University - has lost nearly two-thirds of its staff, according to a list seen by Reuters.
Sixty-nine of the roughly 110 lawyers in the Federal Programs Branch have voluntarily left the unit since President Donald Trump's election in November."
Quite a few in DC attorney's office were fired as well, two in the last two weeks that were on forced leave due to Jan 6 issues.

Not necessarily. Investigating the lying charge means a whole lot of other rocks can be overturned that would ordinarily be off limits.
Criminals, including our elite class, don't stop at just one crime almost never. Leticia is an example as she has lied on mortgage applications for decades now and keeps two criminals in her houses. One who has an outstanding warrant in another state. Plus, tax and insurance fraud are likely.

Yes, they're fighting. And I for one actually *do* appreciate it. Maybe some normals might notice and adjust their thinking.
But the problem as I see it that doesn't matter that the Trump admin is actually fighting, because the fight cannot be won. The Party's people are above the law. They may get fired and their reputations outside of Party circles may crash, but there is no real punishment for them. DC is a Party town, and the federal courts more broadly are a Party organization. They're all fine, and will remain so. It's terribly unjust, but it is what it is. They can't be punished. Just sent home.
Sent home is better than staying put in their offices, but it ain't exactly just.

Chairman's perogative (eg Grassley's) which can be changed, I think, by a committee vote. Blue slips are not in the Senate rules and have been unevenly applied depending on who was chair of Judiciary on the Senate. Came about for Southern senators back in seg days to block integrationist judges (aka Republicans) from being seated in the South.
Frankly outdated and unconscionable nowadays.
Nominees can and have been forced directly to the floor without Judiciary signoff but controversial as usually at least a tie vote is used to send to the floor with no recommendation.
Bork got a non recommended vote from Senate Judiciary and sent to the floor anyway because of WH and Bork's insistence on a floor vote.

Not so sure. Winds seem to be changing direction where the past may no longer predict the future accurately. Crimes have gotten egregious lately up to an attempted coup and perhaps widespread electoral cheating at a massive scale.
I think the real problem for the Trump administration is how much do they want to go with their investigations as some of them are pretty explosive in nature.
Government, since the Cold War ended, has simply carried on with secrecy to the extent that those in it felt emboldened to do all sorts of things because they felt they could get away with it. Like the Covid Vaxx conspiracy and so on.

GOP has never in its modern incarnation fought like Democrats. Remember how they went after all of Nixon's supporters. It wasn't just Nixon that served time. They went after Reagan's administration too lock stock and barrel requiring a ridiculous last minute going out the door pardon for Caspar Weinberger over Iran Contra. Caspar opposed the whole deal in the first place.
And they went after GWB (Scooter Libby), after Trump with fake charges, and so on.

Not so much. Repetition, Repetition, Repetition is the key to destruction of a reputation which is why the Russia Russia bullshit lasted so long that a small percentage of the American population still believes it is true that Trump was a Russian asset.
Dems learned that playing hardball which is why, like Kevin Costner teaching Nuke how to deal with reporters, they have a long line of cliches that they repeat over and over again to ensure it sticks with low information voters.
Trump, and now others in the GOP finally seem to be getting the message. And once the public has come to judgment of a character repeatedly in the news for bad behavior, almost impossible to climb out of the hole entirely. Nixon came as close as anyone and still was essentially relegated to behind the scenes roles. Truman, similarly for Democrats as was Hoover for the GOP.

The FDA Remained Silent For Years About the Linkage of Tylenol and Autism, Even As Their Own Scientists Urged Them to Inform the Public
FDA Stayed Silent As Internal Reports About Potential Tylenol Risks Piled Up
Emily Kopp
Investigative Reporter The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defied the advice of its own drug safety experts to warn pregnant women about Tylenol for nearly a decade, internal reports and presentations obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation reveal. FDA rank-and-file scientists repeatedly recommended the agency release information about Tylenol in pregnancy across three scientific reviews conducted in 2016, 2019, 2022 and two memos, one from the FDA's maternal health division in 2016 and one from the FDA's urological health division in 2017. The scientific literature posits many plausible drivers of autism, the most well-established of which are genetic, and the FDA drug safety experts acknowledged that the research linking the condition to Tylenol is far from ironclad. Still, as alarm bells rang within FDA headquarters and the boardrooms of Tylenol's manufacturers, pregnant women heard nothing from either the government or the manufacturers about the potential risks until the September announcement by President Donald Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. FDA leadership declined to update its webpage about over-the-counter painkillers in pregnancy, repeatedly falling back on language first issued in January 2015. But that statement simply acknowledged that "FDA is aware of concerns" about Tylenol and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), citing just one scientific paper. At the urging of Trump and Kennedy, FDA finally released a nuanced statement in September cautioning pregnant women about Tylenol while acknowledging that aspirin, ibuprofen and high fevers all pose their own risks. That move was first recommended by an FDA drug safety expert nine years earlier. The DCNF obtained the FDA documents from the law firm Keller Postman LLC, which brought a class action lawsuit against Tylenol maker Kenvue, a legally independent spinoff of Johnson & Johnson. The personal injury law firm, which often brings class action lawsuits, obtained the documents from FDA via the Freedom of Information Act. Tylenol, a brand name for acetaminophen, first received FDA approval in 1955 before modern drug laws tightened clinical trial requirements in 1962. Some experts argue that neurological damage occurs due to a toxic byproduct of acetaminophen called NAPQI. Babies and children with autism may struggle to metabolize the drug, resulting in higher levels of NAPQI, which kills cells. ... An internal memo reveals that the agency first began examining acetaminophen in pregnancy 11 years ago, in May 2014, after an April 2014 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association raised concerns about the drug and ADHD-like behaviors, prompting its sole statement on the issue for the next decade -- an 2015 FDA webpage that acknowledging that "FDA is aware of concerns" and citing that single study. Less than two years later, in October 2016, FDA Senior Medical Officer Andrew Mosholder had reviewed eight observational studies with seven showing an association between acetaminophen and issues including attention deficits, delayed motor development and autistic behaviors. Mosholder's 22-page report recommended that FDA issue a nuanced warning: Tylenol in pregnancy could cause neurological harm and the drug should be used sparingly, but other painkillers are associated with more definite risks and Tylenol will sometimes be necessary to reduce fever. The report also recommended more toxicology studies -- laboratory studies designed to uncover the potential toxicity of a drug. Mosholder declined to comment. ...
In January 2018, an FDA decision-making committee led by longtime Center for Drug Evaluation and Research Director (CDER) Janet Woodcock heard a presentation by Mosholder and Valerie Pratt, who oversaw the safety of over-the-counter drugs, according to the meeting minutes. By this time the scientists had reviewed 21 studies, three-fourths of which indicated a risk of Tylenol in pregnancy, the slides show. FDA had preemptively ruled out a drug label change, but Woodcock and other FDA officials also nixed Mosholder's proposed public statement, instead postponing a decision by six months and calling for yet more studies, the meeting minutes show. ... Woodcock oversaw CDER during other controversial decisions over her lengthy tenure, including the approval of OxyContin in 1996, government records show, and defended the approval as following "all applicable statutes and regulations" in a 2020 Senate letter. She also delayed a clinical warning about the risk of heart issues and the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines in 2021, according to a Senate investigation. CDER under Woodcock had downplayed a warning flagged by Mosholder before when he warned in a Dec. 2003 report that antidepressants increased suicide rates in children, a report superiors sought to suppress. Requests for comment from the DCNF sent to two nonprofits for which Woodcock serves on the board of directors did not receive a reply.

... In October 2018, at the follow-up meeting FDA officials had called for six months earlier, the FDA's toxicology division shared their hypothesis that Tylenol could impede blood flow to the growing infant. Other details have been largely redacted in the documents obtained by the DCNF.

The whole system currently in place is not interested in finding a cure to anything. They are more interested in creating techniques, prescriptions, and treatments that lessen the symptoms, but don't isolate the cause or pursue the cure.
Perhaps that's why Cancer and various other diseases have confounded humanity for centuries, but can go from manned flight to landing on the moon in 66 years.

Not saying there’s not a connection, but, taking Tylenol during pregnancy certainly doesn’t CAUSE autism. I think the chemicals in our food and water and air all play a bigger part.

25 years ago everyone thought the cure to cancer in general was coming soon.
What we found those was cancer is more complicated then we had originally thought. And with many cancers there has been significant progress over the last couple of decades. But some cancers have proven harder to resolve then others.
And as a digression of course we found a great way to increase cancer's mortality rates with the clot shot...

I can't help thinking that when the cure does actually arrive, it will be different from what everyone thinks. Personally, I think medicine is going to start moving towards "sound based" treatment. Focusing resonant tones to destroy targeted cells. IOW, instead of the non-discriminate radiation treatment or chemotherapy, the focus will be on a more precise eradication using atomic weight calibration to focus target on specific damaging cells.

Dilaudid is the only drug I have ever tried with a kidney stone and not felt 'anything'- from the kidney stone, at least. I did feel a bit nauseated, but I was happy about it.
Considering my pain had been about a 9 or 9.5 30 seconds before, it was pretty amazing.

The thought of a grown adult imagining that he is facing "tyranny" while openly holding court for an hour on live television on one of the "Big 3" networks, and knowing that once the show is over he will collect this stuff and calmly drive home to his luxury residence...astounds me. I mean I *know* they're dumb, but I once imagined that even dumb had its limits.

Nobody is talking about banning it or making it prescription. JUST A WARNING. Hey, maybe don't take so much, or hey, maybe consult your doctor.
Think what kind of psychopath objects to a warning.

I once heard some evangelical claim cancer was caused by devil spirits (a life of its own). But I like the "low carb kills cancer cells" theory, along with Ivermectin and fenbendazole kills cancer theories better.
The evil "Food Pyramid" from the Evil Ones forced bad diet upon us, plus kids are a little too glues to their screens now.
Sure, there are benefits to internet learning and the most secluded don't have to attend a Charlie Kirk rally, they can see it on the internet and be transformed. But exercise is still vital, along with correct diet, and proper vitamin protocol (as opposed to BigPharma keeping you medicated and sick).

My aunt grew up in Canada and learned "french". Then moved to Paris thinking, "I'll be just fine".
Everyone she met had no idea what she was saying and treated her like she was somehow retarded.

National Gas Price Average Falls Below $3/Gallon for First Time Since... Trump's Last Term in Office
BuT wHaT aBoUt TrUmP's PrOmIsE tO rEdUcE iNfLaTiOn
Gas prices have dropped under $3 a gallon nationwide for the first time since 2020 -- a milestone the Trump administration is crediting to its aggressive push for American energy dominance and expanded domestic production. According to GasBuddy's head of petroleum analysis Patrick De Haan, the national average hit $2.99 on Monday -- the earliest in years that prices have fallen below the $3 mark. "Gas prices have finally fallen below $3 per gallon nationally -- the earliest date we've seen a $2.99 national average since 2020, when COVID was the primary driver of low prices," De Haan said, adding that 35 states now report averages under $2.99 per gallon. He noted that GasBuddy even recorded a $1.99 cash price in Evans, Colorado, with Oklahoma and Texas stations close behind. De Haan attributed part of the trend to increased oil production by OPEC+, but many in Washington are pointing to President Trump's pro-energy policies as the real catalyst. The White House released a statement Monday touting the achievement as a direct result of Trump's commitment to "unleashing American energy production" and reversing what it called "years of Biden-induced economic disaster."
... During Biden's tenure, gas prices soared to record highs, peaking at $4.60 a gallon in 2022 -- a 45 percent increase from when he took office. At the time, Biden blamed Russia's invasion of Ukraine for the surge.

Gas prices typically go down in November each year. Lower demand than during summer (lots of Americans travel for summer trips). Switch to winter blend, which is cheaper to produce than summer blend. Among other factors.

January of 2020, prior to the Plandemic, it was ~$3.60.
It reached an average high of ~$6.40 in June of 2022.
Here in Michigan, average price today is ~$3.03.
For some reason, that is a spike from ~$2.76 just 2 days ago.

And a bit on topic, if gas is cheaper people can take a driving vacation instead of flying somewhere. I am loving the lower prices at the pump, but diesel is still high at most stations that have space for a big trailer and especially at full on truck stops.
Posted by: PaleRider at October 21, 2025 03:20 PM (kdHU2)
Wtf is this guy trying to say? This is barely English.
Is he talking about this being the first time gas has EVER been below $3 since 2020? Or the earliest date in the year that prices have been below $3? Prices usually rise during summer and then drop off.
And wtf is he talking about saying Covid drove down gas prices? I don't remember that at all.
I think this guy is a retard.

Another point I can't wait to see in the Winsome/Vance debates in 2028. Winsome seems to be trying to prevent a predicted price spike by begging the exiting gas companies (Valero and Chevron as I recall) to stick around, so he'll probably either force through a subsidy or blame Big Oil.

Since Trump's election if the stock market is up it shows he is controlled by the rich and if it is down it shows he has destroyed the economy.
Amusingly under the Junta it was reversed - if stocks were up it was a sign that Joe has fixed everything and if they were down it was a sign that Joe cared about normal people not the rich.
Now, the stock market is a poor proxy for the economy overall, but a significant portion of the population has some stock holdings (especially if you consider 401ks) so you do want to see consistent growth, but yeah, the FNM pays too much attention to it.

GasBuddy is full of shit, by the way.
It's populated by users, and the dude is a massive Democrat dead ender who lashes out at people online who post pictures of low gas prices that aren't on his site.
He does this a lot to people in the San Antonio area, it seems.

Gas Buddy completely fucked up their web site and their app a few months ago, and took away the simple functionality that made it easy to use. Sure sounds like the work of a leftoid genius!!
(The funny thing is that a local TV station still apparently has access to the "old" web version via embedded HTML, so I just go to that now)

Apparently, Costco doesn't do futures contracts on gas. They spot price purchase the gas from their suppliers.
So, it moves with the oil market much more tightly than most gas stations which do have futures contracts.
I also suspect that Costco has a policy to sell gas at certain margins and no more, kind of like how they'll always sell the hot dogs for $1.50.

I have found GasBuddy useful here in the Phoenix area. Generally pretty accurate. And I have never stumbled across a low-price gas station that was not on GasBuddy. Of course, I don't have the app on my phone, because I use no apps. If I am making a jaunt across the Valley here, I will go on GasBuddy on the computer here, and locate the best price to be found within a few miles of my planned route.

It's only 16 cents per gallon in Iran! I think the worst places to live have the cheapest gas. So naturally red states would have cheaper gas by my theory.

Republican ran states are showing signs (lower energy prices) of recession faster than Dem ran states. Broke, unemployed people in our globalist-looted economy aren't doing much driving.

I think God, if he were inclined to speak to us on such matters, could confirm that the significant percentage of what we've believed for the last 100 years or so was taxed to "pay for the government" was in fact mere graft. 100 years ago more of it might have been used for government services, and nowadays I don't trust that much of any of it goes for government services. I believe the shift was slowly at first, and then all at once.

1. Portraying low cost of living as a bad thing is certainly something.
2. This is obviously very selective economic sign reading. Deporting a shit ton of people (while GDP at 4% still) is going to produce weird numbers here and there.

==========================
Once the COVID panic set in and the lockdowns were issued, consumption of gasoline by vehicles plummeted since:
(1) A large proportion of the people still employed were now teleworking all the time rather than commuting to work at least part of the time
(2) A large proportion of people lost employment, if only temporarily, and were therefore no longer commuting to work
(3) Tourism crashed since so many tourist attractions were shut down, and it even became difficult to dine at restaurants et cetera
The price of oil futures actually became negative in April, though only briefly, and the average price of gasoline fell below two dollars per gallon. With the economy recovering rapidly in the six months after April, and lockdowns easing in most of the country, gasoline/oil consumption and prices increased from those April lows.

Storage with environmental controls and some form of Sta-bil additive for the short run. In the long run you'd have to figure out another fuel.

Sta-bil is supposed to keep it good for two years. If we are still scrounging after two years? Keep your eyes peeled for zombies.

We were paying about $3.50 all of September and into October, near our camp in the northern Adirondacks. Left there for suburban Chicago's McHenry county last Thursday, arriving Friday, and gas here was the same.
Then suddenly it dropped about 50 cents overnight. Just in time for No Kings!

___________________________
You know, the more I've looked into that high speed rail in Cali, the more cynical I've become about the true purpose. I think it was a disguise for a covert land grab from generational farmers and privately held land. Since 2013, California has applied eminent domain on well over 700 properties, and those gas taxes partially paid for the acquisitions. Eminent Domain cases are open on the proposed rail path to this day...many of them. When the project is ultimately scrapped, California will be declaring more State held "Parks."

I've always believed that is a "right tool for the job" kind of question. I hardly ever keep a car for more than 90,000 miles, and I've never had engine problems using ethanol. But if you're trying to hang on to a car for 200,000 miles, maybe paying 45 cents a gallon more for the ethanol-free gas is worth it? There's some math to that equation, and this is a math-free zone.

=======
The problem with ethanol is that it hygroscopic: absorbs moisture from the air, which then starts to corrode the innards of your engine.
Ethanol-free gas (or the non-ethanol part of ethanol gas) also oxidizes over time, which can form varnish and gums up the works. You still need stabilizer for the latter, but you can make the gas last five years or more.
Ethanol gas can also be stabilized but your max lifetime is about 12 months.
Store your equipment either completely full or completely empty.

IIRC, Rudolf Diesel made his original engine run on peanut oil. Recent model Diesel engines will run fine on straight vegetable oil, once warmed up. Most animal and vegetable oils are not fluid enough to go through the injector pump when cold.

He said it changed how he sees the future of the industry.
“We are in a global competition with China, and it’s not just about EVs. If we lose this, we do not have a future at Ford.”
Andrew Forrest, founder of Fortescue, said what he saw shocked him. “There are no people, everything is robotic.”
Greg Jackson, CEO of Octopus Energy, toured several Chinese factories and said some of them didn’t even have lights.

She thinks everyone wants big screens, technology that will render the vehicle completely useless when one small bit fails, over horsepower and handling, I guess.

Oh, so the dashboard and such. What a dope. The big screen won't run when you're stranded for two hours waiting for a recharge. Make sure you bring backup batteries for your phone, because that will be your only entertainment.

Giant hovercraft ferries, that could carry an entire railway train. They could run all year long, over water, over ice, over breaking-up ice.
Don't know if Russian railways use the same track gauge, though. But build some roads, and truckers could do it.

Yesterday I saw something hat one rarely sees these days: A young lady who purposely dresses down as badly as she can, because she's naturally so good-looking that she wants to stop people from noticing her, so she can live her life in peace.
This girl was, approximately, a 9.5 out of 10, probably in her late teens. From the back she wore old baggy jeans, worn-out dirty tennis shoes, and a sloppy rumpled sweatshirt, and greasy unwashed hair. From the front she was revealed to be, despite zero makeup, one of Humankind's Great Beauties, without even trying. She kept her gaze down and tried to avoid eye contact, trying to "pass" as a normal-looking person.
This is exact opposite of most other mid-range girls who do their best to look as appealing as possible (within whatever framework of fashion/style they have chosen).

The Hill: Democrats Fear the Backlash from Their Far-Left Antifa/Trantifa Base If They Re-Open the Government
And at least one Biden judge thinks that any lefty claiming to be a transgender can attempt assassinations and only get a wrist slap as punishment, so this isn't the kind of smoke Democrats are willing to face.
Some Democrats skeptical about their leadership's hard-line stance against reopening the federal government privately acknowledge that they fear getting "hammered" by their liberal base if they vote for a Republican funding bill. Grassroots Democrats frustrated with the Trump administration have been demanding a fight, and on Saturday millions showed up at "No Kings" demonstrations across the country to protest the president's government. In that context, Democrats know they will get hit hard by a number of voices on the left if they do not get something for opening the government. "People are going to get hammered" if they vote for the House-passed bill to reopen the government and keep it funded through Nov. 21, said one Democratic senator who requested anonymity to talk candidly about their party. A second person familiar with the political dynamics within the Senate Democratic caucus, who spoke with The Hill ahead of the "No Kings" protests, said centrist senators are fearful of breaking with leaders while party activists are planning the anti-Trump rallies.There are no centrist Democrat Senators but let's settle on the term "professional managerial class establishment leftwingers."
"We would have enough votes" to reopen the government "if people were not terrified of getting the guillotine," the second person said.Note that Antifa (not just an idea) brings guillotines to its various riots and insurrections so I don't think this person is speaking entirely metaphorically.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Monday that he opposed standalone legislation to pay troops and federal employees reporting to work during the funding lapse. Democratic lawmakers are showing few signs of ending the 20-day long shutdown despite millions of federal employees facing mounting financial stress due to the prospect of missing their next paycheck. "It appears to be more like a political ploy giving Donald Trump discretion over which employees should be compensated and which employees should not be compensated," Jeffries said during a press conference in the U.S. Capitol. "All employees should be compensated, and that will happen when we reopen the government."Jeffries isn't afraid of any blowback from the angry Navy personnel serving on the high seas. Word on the street is that Hakeem Jeffries has never flinched from taking on salty seamen with gusto.
🚨WATCH: Jeffries tells @AndiNapier that he does NOT support legislation that the Senate is expected to vote on this week to pay federal employees and service members calling, it a "political ploy." pic.twitter.com/y0D9eQZhuE

A group of “Republicans” largely from Blue States have put together a proposal to extend the Obamacare Subsidies. It’s a terrible deal BTW, sinkhole and backdoor for government funded healthcare.
These “Republicans” wrote a letter telling Johnson the want to do this. But what they aim to do is undermine the caucus, and vote with Democrats to get the subsidies passed. So what they’re doing is telling Democrats if they end the shutdown, they will vote with them to extend the subsidies.
That’s the quid pro quo that’s coming and anyone involved in it needs a primary opponent.

No, he said a clean CR had to be passed and the Obamacare issue would be handled in regular order. He didn’t say there can’t be agreements on what will be done in regular order. Now as speaker he would have to let that deal come up for a vote. But he can’t stop people from offering amendments.
What I’m telling you is just like SALT the Blue State Republicans are going to try and undermine the caucus. There definitely are not enough Republican votes to pass what the Blue Staters want. So they’re going to undermine the rest of the party.

"I voted yes to pay our service members. That's service members over party. That's not baffling to me," he said.
Trump already has an anonymous donor lined up (Elon?) who has offered to pay all military paychecks during the shutdown. So the threat that military active duty families can't feed their kids and pay their bills is off the table. It;s not a bargaining chip.

The deeper problem is that some of the worst communist immigrant families were expelled from their home countries for getting too meddled into politics. So they come to America and find a way to worm their toxic brand of politics into our American fabric. Think Mamdami's Ugandan revolutionary roots and Ilhan Omar in Somalia.

People acting like this shutdown is at all a loss that Republicans need to do anything to get out of are seriously misreading the situation.
The general vibe is, "My partisan enemies are responsible, and I'm not really suffering."
There's no incentive to bend or break right now for anyone on a political level.
On a policy level, Democrats should just give up because the programs Vought is cutting are going to be more than enough to pay for ACA subsidies (ugh...they're gonna stay because of course).

The absurd opinions of "judges" on motivations or justifications for actions entirely outside their purview (not to mention obviously well above and outside their substantive competence).
And every time a president implicitly stipulates this complete shredding of common sense and the constitutional order, by not repudiating a "court" or giving SCOTUS 24 hours to squash the nonsense, it becomes more entrenched. It's surreal - we now just nod along as the judiciary usurps and second-guesses and sabotages executive power even in the most critical areas like national security and law and order, as if it's normal or correct. The frog is so boiled we're talking over-done by this point.

The conspiracy provision of RICO should arguably cover this if a person is knowingly financing an enterprise engaged in a predicate pattern of racketeering as prohibited by the RICO statute. One would also think that anti-terrorism laws could be brought to bear as well. I doubt an entirely new law is needed, plus you generally can't make a previously lawful act into a crime as per the ex post facto prohibition. My gut tells me Cruz is grandstanding.

Pro-EU Polish Prime Minister Tusk explained that since the the Nordstream pipeline bombings were praiseworthy, Poland was not going to assist in any investigation of the bombings.
Having legitimized the concept that EU infrastructure could be attacked if that infrastructure aided Russia, two oil refineries, one in Hungary and one in Romania, caught fire within hours of each other yesterday. Both refineries were processing Russian oil.
Understandably, apparently the universal assumption in Hungary is that Ukraine is behind this.
This is going to do wonders for the already shaky Ukrainian-Hungarian relationship, particularly if there is evidence of Ukrainian involvement.

Talking filibuster is still on the rules btw. And because no senator may rise to speak more than once on an issue while holding the floor (endless questions are allowed), you can deplete the speaking list over time by exhausting the speaker's list. Estimates are that it would take grinding the Senate to a halt for a couple of months unless the Senate went into round the clock session which technically the majority leader can do so.
That alone would probably trigger a few anticipatory deaths among the elderly senators. They would have to sit and listen to their colleagues blather on or risk endless quorum calls.

This isn’t a layoff, they aren’t at work because they can’t be, not because they don’t want to be. Oh! And the work they do is sitting there waiting to be done and piling up.

Original talking filibuster is still allowed but as you say, it brings the Senate to a standstill. Before the nuclear option to change rules was invoked in the 70's, the filibuster required 2/3rds for cloture aka 67 and did indeed stop all business on the Senate floor. The other means though is exhausting the speaker's list on a bill. Takes even longer normally than the old filibuster.

Sweetie, that's why some of us are in government service. It's one of the perks. We get paid less than in the private sector (I worked private for decades, too), we get no Christmas bonus, we don't get to negotiate for compensation, but we get decent benefits and time off, and we get reliable paychecks. Risk vs. reward.
I was laid off in the private sector, but I also got a hell of a year end bonus. These things even out.

So it months from now still shut down. That is a pretty long vacation, no? This is the point. Why are govt workers entitled to a paycheck when the rest of us are not? Is it because you can not apply for unemployment? Asking because it seems out of whack.

Last time I looked at the numbers, most individuals are off of welfare within a couple of years BUT most welfare dollars are spent on lifers because they are on from when they have their first baby in HS until death.
There are some people physically incapable of working of course, but that number is small compared to the total number of people on welfare. A sane society would privatize welfare completely but if we were going to have it from the government there should be a limit in time baring an assessment of completely incapability of working (a psychotic, a quadriplegic, etc)
But here's the thing, our society is too sick to do this last step. There would be so many exceptions everyone that wanted to would pass through on this full incapacity assessment.

I work for the Corps of Engineers. We work for a living, we don't get direct Congressional money. When there is a shutdown, we keep working because our paychecks come from money already paid to us for projects. Fair or not fair doesn't enter into the discussion.
Right now I'm in Elon's buyout. I get paid through December, which will be my retirement date. I didn't ask for the deal, but it was offered so I took it. Elon's cash comes from a different source, so I'm technically furloughed. But there's no way in hell I would have taken the deal if I didn't think I would get paid.
Sour grapes because you don't have that sort of deal in the private sector is not the same as prudent planning based on a contract. I have the contract. I planned accordingly.

A lot of welfare (I'm using the term to cover all the handout programs) is transient. But there are a lot of families who have been on it for generations and always will be. Even if that's not a big percentage of the overall -- I think it is a big percentage -- then that's a lot of money over time and into the future.
Then there's the comically rampant welfare fraud that probably is 20% of the entire cost.

But it is interesting that most of them see it as a problem as well, and pin it on capitalism. Their thought process is that because people have to work they don't have time to have kids, but in a good socialist system they would only work if they wanted to instead of having kids.
Of course the closer a society is to their "good socialist model" the fewer children the women have.

So i not sure how you particular situation is applicable to the larger issue. Its a bit confusing. Were you already furloughed, not working, and getting paid pending your planned December retirement? It probably going to eventually get to you based on your agreement. It is the more routine situation i am curious about. Do federal workers not get unemployment if the get laid off? Or does it happen so rarely it isnt needed.

The problem I saw wasn't so much as a high level of goofing off - more than the private sector, to be sure, but not excessive - but rather the few instances of major goldbricking, with no disciplinary action.
There was one guy, who also held a seat on the Pgh Stock Exchange as a side gig, who would wander in around a half hour late, peruse the morning paper and the WSJ at his desk, then spend at least half his time on the phone, playing the market + time out of the office, like 2 hour lunches to handle the side gig. Blatent, but I never saw him in the bosses office with the door closed. He was a long time employee, and he was still there when I left after 13 weeks.
If you didn't own the company, or related to who did, that behavior in the private sector would have you on the street holding a cardboard box in less than a month.

Kash Patel: The FBI Is "On the Verge" Of Mapping Antifa's and Trantifa's Funding and Command Structures
Wait a minute -- ideas don't have funding and command structures!!!
And yet Antifa and Trantifa do. By the way, I'm now capitalizing both to indicate that they are real organizations like ISIS and not just "ideas." I think the left started this psyop of spelling "antifa" with no capital "A" to suggest to people it's Just An Idea That Doesn't Exist.He tells people to be "patient" about the pace of the prosecution of the Democrat Deep State government-weaponizers.
FBI Director Kash Patel tells Just the News that the bureau is "on the verge" of unmasking the command structure and financing for anarchist groups like Antifa that have unleashed unrest around America and has also identified potential new criminal activity related to the abuse of federal law enforcement and intelligence. ... He said there are indications that some support may come from overseas enemies and U.S. nonprofit groups that have tax exemptions from the IRS. "Look, the thing I can tell you is that money doesn't lie, and the thing we're doing at the FBI is following the money," Patel explained. "And thanks to President Trump, we now have Antifa designated, rightfully so, as a domestic terror organization. And we have had multiple investigations going on." ... Patel's comments came as a federal grand jury on Wednesday night indicted two people allegedly tied to Antifa on terrorism charges for an attack in July on an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Texas. The two individuals, identified as Cameron Arnold and Zachary Evetts, were charged with providing material support for terrorism, attempting to murder federal and assisting officers and discharging firearms during attempted murders. ... That indictment undercut the argument made by many Democrats and even some journalists who have argued that Antifa is not a group, but rather just a mere ideology. Most notably, Keith Ellison, attorney general of Minnesota, recently said that "nobody even knows what it is," but conservative pundits were quick to point to receipts, such as Powerlineblog.com, which published a photo of Ellison proudly holding a book in 2018 titled, "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook." ... "Someone is paying for this. These are organized acts of violence, fully funded by people who don't even live necessarily in these communities, showing up in the dozens with the same placards, the same helmets, the same riot gear. Someone's paying for it, and we're on the verge of finding that out next to these new authorities," he added. The FBI's top boss detailed that these probes have found fascinating connections, including between traditional anarchist groups like Antifa and transgender activist groups that are incubating in places like social media platforms favored by gamers. ... Patel confirmed that he is similarly concerned that foreign enemies from Iran, China, Cuba and Venezuela may also be involved in creating a toxic brew of radicalization in this network.
Speaking of Antifa: the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled yet another Antifa Judge who tried to protect her Antifa allies from the National Guard.
"We are looking at so many different leads on criminal activity by those who are in positions of power, and we're not going to stop until every single one of those is fully exposed," Patel said during a wide-ranging interview this week on the "Just the News, No Noise" television show. When asked whether more indictments against those accused of weaponizing government may be ahead, he said: "the documents are provided either to Congress or the courts of law and we make every referral we can under the Department of Justice. "These indictments that you've seen, and the ones that you're going to see coming up here in this near future, are just the beginning," he added. ... "I have to remind the audience of one thing. Everybody's like, it's seven months. What have you guys been doing? Well, they spent 20 years building this diseased temple of corruption," he said. "It takes a little bit of time to defeat it and beat it down. I'm not asking you to trust me. I'm asking you to look at the work the men and women of the FBI have done so far in these seven, eight months, and just imagine what we're going to do come the year's end."
After years of unrest and political defiance, a federal appeals court on Monday cleared President Donald Trump to send in the National Guard -- a major legal win that shatters a lower court's block and hands the White House control over a city Democrats let spiral into chaos. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, long regarded as one of the nation's most liberal benches, ruled 2-1 in favor of the president, overturning one of two temporary restraining orders that had halted the Guard's deployment. The majority opinion, written by Judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade concluded that the president likely acted within his authority under 10 U.S.C. §12406(3), which allows the federalization of the National Guard when "the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States." "After considering the record at this preliminary stage, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority," the judges wrote. During oral arguments, Nelson acknowledged that critics feared potential misuse of the Guard but said the court found "no evidence of that." The lone dissenter sided with Oregon officials who accused Trump of political grandstanding. That argument mirrored an earlier decision by a Portland district judge who branded Trump's actions "untethered to reality" and accused him of blurring "the line between civil and military power." The White House, in a sharp response, said it was the judge who was "untethered in reality," vowing to defend the president's constitutional authority. Oregon Assistant Attorney General Stacy Chaffin had argued that Trump exaggerated the violence in Portland and that the protests did not amount to a "rebellion." But Trump's team countered that the city's years of rioting, vandalism, and assaults on law enforcement more than met the legal threshold for federal action.

Mentioning this again because relevant and I think it's interesting. JD Delay interviewed a purported ex-Antifa member. Many characteristics of a cult - control over what you see, hear, read, listen to, and encouraging cutting off all former family and friends from the outside. Possible connections to other criminal activity. Sending their frontline retards out drugged to the gills. If even a fraction of what this guy says is true, it's damning and diabolical.

Don't forget Trump. Nobody has been more adamant about letting the Epstein stuff die than Trump. I don't think Trump is a weasel.
The 180 degree change at the DOJ in 9 months despite unrelenting interference from the left is pretty spectacular. It's not just charges brought, it's gutting both the DOJ and FBI from decades of infiltration by people who wanted to go after parents at PTA meetings and anyone who dared support Trump.
Look at the Eastern District of VA. The charges against Comey almost didn't happen because of leftist prosecutors in one office. There are 50 offices. And it's only been 9 months.
I'm very happy with the job being done by Bondi and Patel.

I'm willing to bet that 90% of these online T-shirt printing operations are run by ANTIFA types. No real capital involved. Easy to move. Easy to shut down on occasion (and if you read the reviews in most their customer service complaints are contradictive as if someone gets good quick service, and the next guy is waiting weeks). There are certain t-shirt printers that have current events merchandise within 24 hours of an event occurring. One operation in Houston was selling disgusting Charlie Kirk depictions only 10 hours after the assassination.
Then there is the fact that ANTIFA all dresses the same, and seems to have a uniform of sorts with screen printing on it.
So, yeah, businesses such as this are what's supporting ANTIFA on a consistent and regular basis.

That was the end of the Bracero program which was the temporary agreement to allow Mexican farm labor to work in the US during WWII.
Eisenhower recognized the need to allow Americans to get back to their jobs without competing against foreign labor, and because the program was temporary during war time. This was quite divisive because lefties and farm owners liked cheap labor.
It was actually a concern up to recently with a number of the laborers in the program feeling they were owed additional benefits for working in the US during that time.
Because of course they did.

True, even in settings of less direct control. It's why the left uses harassment and violence to shut down non-leftists everywhere they go, including college campuses and on the sidewalk. No competing message is allowed, for fear of cracks in their control from people giving credence to any view but their own. It's why commies persecute or control churches.

They took it over yes. But Washington Heights was so named because Washington retreated there, I believe. Fort Tryon Park up in Inwood, where the Cloisters are, was a retreat location.
Fraunces Tavern has delicious food and a museum. "A tavern older than the country itself, Fraunces acted as the headquarters for George Washington, as a watering hole for many of the Founding Fathers, and today, as a testament to it all."
There's so, so much history in NYC. A Muslim takeover will destroy it all. They don't preserve their own history and culture outside of what the Imams approve, why should they preserve ours?

Patel should announce that the FBI won't be working with the NYPD under those circumstances. Or it will create some new rules about coordination, one of them being that Mamdani is out of the loop.

I really think it's desperation to get Obama again on a couple of different levels.
Black turnout with Obama was ahistorically high and it crashed in 2016. 2024 represented the best black turnout since 2012 but...it wasn't enough.
And the Democrat Party is filled, top to bottom, with people hired with the Obama ethos. An underlying assumption of everything is that increased black turnout (BLM riots, as an example, Trayvon Martin is another) will lead to electoral wins.
It's a very urban centric view that's falling away from reality with every year as conservatives in general retain their replacement fertility rates and progressives in general and blacks specifically fall below it.
The loyal black voter that built this was the Black Boomer generation. The lower generations are far less brand loyal to the DNC.

But AI can do those jobs too, and without the human element which allows for corruption.

The failure of regular "police" forces is an indication that standard police tactics are not appropriate to the situation in Portland. They simply bring out a line and push against the mob, and then try to.keep.up with every instance of disobedience, which are legion. They can't and don't.
The key to using the Guard is overwhelming force. A mob of 50, 200 Guardsmen -and I mean MEN, not a 120# Spec4 female clerk. A mob of 100 = 400 Guardmen, etc. This is doable because the big mobs -actual "protestors" - are daytime critters. It gets spicy at night, and this bunch of clowns is much smaller. Let ICE, etc handle the daytime insults, chants, and flipped birds. Bring in a company or two of guard after dark. I leave the tactics to the guard - "stacking" individuals on the line, like an entry, flying squads directed by targeting lasers, etc.

A caveat - 2028 is still a long time from now, much could change. But I think the explanation for what we're seeing in them is much more simple; they've allowed themselves to be completely consumed by hatred, they've become so consumed by it that the loudest ones are no longer capable of any rational thought on the topic. (just like the fools at the NK rally Saturday)
I think they will naturally gravitate towards a candidate that expresses that hatred most loudly and repeatedly. Winning's got nothing to do with it, this is about emoting.

They are not allowed to pursue or do traffic stops for things like no license plates, and they are not allowed to do anything at the riots.
The cops are restrained from being police for "special" classes. If they do police work like the Guard did in DC (which is a bit bigger by the way) they should have similar results.

Thats a major problem. Personally I think you should be at least a 2rd generation American before holding any position of power of any kind, especially when you come from a place that wipes it's ass with their bare hands. As far as I'm concerned "America" hasn't been bred into you yet.

If Puerto Rico ever actually breaks off and is an independent country, she can run for president? But she'd have to fight the political machine already on the island and jockey for position. It'll be a tough horse race.

When I was an altar boy at my Catholic Church growing up in quiet polish neighborhood on south side of Chicago in the late 80s-early 90s, our church rang the bell three times, I think, before the start of each mass. My parish had mass at 8:00am, 10:30am and noon. So about 30 seconds of bell ringing three times each Sunday.
Looking up the Islamic call to prayer, it lasts between 2-5 minutes, 5 times per day:
The 5 daily Islamic calls to prayer (Adhan) occur at times determined by the position of the sun, not fixed clock hours. This means exact times change every day and vary by geographic location.
1. Fajr ~4:30 AM – 6:00 AM
2. Dhuhr ~12:00 PM – 1:30 PM
3. Asr ~3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
4. Maghrib ~5:30 PM – 7:30 PM
5. Isha ~7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

The deeper problem is that some of the worst communist immigrant families were expelled from their home countries for getting too meddled into politics. So they come to America and find a way to worm their toxic brand of politics into our American fabric. Think Mamdami;s Ugandan revolutionary roots and Ilhan Omar in Somalia.

NYC, for all it faults, is one of the city jewels in America, rich in our revolutionary war history and other iconic historical moments. The idea that such iconic beauty and vibrancy will be destroyed, because the left and communism can't built they can only destroy, terrifies me.

I was referring, specifically, to the conditions in front of the ICE facility, and the fed LEO responds to them.
They're on the net; read the Antifa training .materials for "direct action", then watch the videos.
Someone gets grabbed by the cops. They are immediately surrounded by 6-10 people all screaming at them and waving cellphones. One or two of the bunch will grab a leg or arm of the arrestee and try to.pull him or her free. If the puller is grabbed at, they run back into the crowd and someone else will step in. They actually train on this shit. If they get him free, he'll run into the crowd. Anyone being pursued will be protected, two or three stepping in the way of the cops, umbrellas opened to cover the direction the guy is going, etc. They all wear black for reason, it's hard to pick out a specific miscreant.
Overwhelming force solves that by having enough bodies to grab every one of the actors.

On another note, I suspect that the social media platforms "incubating" the Antifa types are primarily Twitch and Reddit. The latter is suffering a string of fiascos lately after one of its best known streamers was caught mistreating his dog. And another streamer was sexually assaulted during Twitch's convention after the suspect walked through multiple lines and was ignored by Twitch's security (both before and after the assault). The streamer's own bodyguard had been banned after he stopped another troublemaker two years ago, and she'd been told she had to make an in person appearance at the event as part of her contract.

Woke Cincinnati Chief of Police Suspended As She's Investigated for Incompetence
This was the woke Karen charmer -- who of course looks like a grade school librarian who spends her weekends playing semi-pro roller derby -- whose response to video of a group of blacks beating down a white guy and kicking him in the head even when he was unconscious was to scold the media for informing the public about the attack and making her look like she wasn't in control.
She has been suspended while the police conduct an internal investigation about her ability to lead the force.Cincinnati Police Department (CPD) Chief Teresa Theetge, who scolded people for sharing a viral video of a massive downtown brawl, was placed on leave Monday amid an internal investigation, according to multiple reports. In July, video footage circulated online capturing a massive brawl at Elm and Fourth Streets, which showed a group of people violently attacking a man and woman. According to WLWT5, a local affiliate of NBC, Theetge has been placed on paid administrative leave pending an "internal investigation on the effectiveness of her leadership in the Cincinnati Police Department," with Assistant Chief Adam Hennie named interim chief. ... Following the incident, Theetge accused social media users and journalists of misrepresenting the viral footage, claiming it lacked "context." The now former police chief received widespread backlash for the remarks and remained in the spotlight as four former Cincinnati Police Department officers sued the city for alleged workplace discrimination against white males. The viral video showed the fight beginning with four men, one of whom was seen repeatedly being stomped. A woman, identified as Holly, was later seen being punched by a man, appearing to lose consciousness and left lying in the street. In August, Holly told Fox News that CPD officers failed to take her name or statement after she was knocked out, and alleged police didn't interview anyone at the scene. She claimed she saw officers "leaning up against their police car" with their "arms crossed."And in more gross miscarriage of justice news: Chip Roy has moved to impeach the ditzy DEI judge who gave Bret Kavanaugh's would-be assassin an unlawfully low sentence because he's trans and being trans gives you license for several free murders, as we're finding out.
Congressman Chip Roy on Monday filed articles of impeachment against U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, who sentenced Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's attempted assassin to only eight years in prison -- significantly lower than what federal sentencing guidelines and prosecutors called for. Nicholas Roske, a 29-year-old trans-identifying man who now goes by Sophie, was sentenced October 3 for attempting to kill the Supreme Court justice in 2022. In an exclusive statement to The Daily Wire, Roy said Boardman "deserves to be impeached for her absurd eight-year-sentence." "Our nation's judicial system is structured to administer proper and equal treatment under the law; it is not a system where a member of the Judiciary is to allow their personal feelings or political ideology to influence their decision-making -- oftentimes resulting in more criminals on the street," the Texas Republican said. Roske faced up to life in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. Prosecutors asked for 30 years. ... Roy, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, said the judge "unequivocally based this weak sentence on the attempted assassin's 'gender identity,' as the attempted assassin expressed that he views himself as a woman." "Instead of doing what the Judiciary calls for and sentencing this man to the base 30-year sentence recommended by the Department of Justice, Judge Boardman purposefully allowed this man off easy," Roy said. The Daily Wire previously reported Boardman, a Joe Biden appointee to Maryland federal court, acknowledged there was "a whopping 22-year difference" between that and the minimum of 30 years called for by federal sentencing guidelines.
Proving that #NotAllWomen are woke incompetents, Jeanne Pirro announced charges against two additional carjackers who beat up "Big Ballz" when he stopped in to prevent them from stealing a woman's car. Yesterday I wrongly reported that she had brought additional charges against the Innocent Babies Who Didn't Do Nuffin and were given no time in jail at all. I misread the report. She brought charges against additional suspects, not additional charges against the suspects a woke judge already set loose on the streets. These "teens" are 18 and 19. Also known as "adult men," at least outside of a left-wing Soros Court. Oh -- and these "teens" left the crime scene to perpetrate another brutal attack on an entirely different victim.
U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro has charged two of the young thugs whose attack on Edward "Big Balls" Coristine made headlines two months ago. Soon after two of the teens who mobbed Coristine in a robbery attempt received only probation from a woke judge, Pirro charged two other criminal teens with multiple crimes. One of these is Lawrence Cotton-Powell, a serial criminal repeatedly arrested and convicted on robbery charges this year but always released again by woke D.C. judges, despite requests to the contrary from Pirro's office. Cotton-Powell not only viciously attacked Coristine, but participated in another robbery that same night when he nearly killed Ethan Levine. Both could have been avoided had the judges not favored Powell. Pirro emphasized "the need for accountability among young offenders in the district," arguing that "this case underscores the escalating challenges that we face in confronting crime in Washington, D.C." On August 3, at approximately 2:53 a.m. at the U Street corridor and 14th Street, "which is a very popular hangout nightlife area," per Pirro, Ethan Levine, a 22-year-old, and several of his friends "were standing outside a Sunoco gas station. They were approached by a large group of teens, individuals who confronted them and began to assault them. Today, we are announcing that Lawrence Cotton-Powell, who is 19 years of age, along with Anthony Taylor, who is 18 years of age, are now charged with assaulting Levine." The two criminals stomped on Levine's head. When Levine was able to get up temporarily, the mob of criminals "chased him and got him down again. They continued to attack Levine while he was on the ground, and then proceeded to rob him of his sneakers and his watch." The teen criminals, elated at their bloody attack, "walked in the direction of where another crime occurred within minutes." Edward Coristine, a 19-year-old DOGE employee, "was walking a young woman to her car" when he was approached by the mob of criminals, Pirro said. Coristine pushed the young woman into the car and protected her from the group so she was able to lock herself in. "He was then attacked by multiple suspects, who then punched him repeatedly, causing significant injuries to him," Pirro stated.In happier news, the pair of Gentle Giants and/or attempted murderers are thinking about becoming rappers and enrolling in CUNY.

Prime example of a culture gone too far. You can't put 60-year old "Peppermint Patty" in charge of your city's police force. You're crossing the line when you do that--its the equivalent of breaking the 4th wall. When you cast characters for your civilizational play, the actors have to look the part.

The lenient sentence should get reversed on appeal. A downward departure of 22 years (!) is very rare and only appropriate in very specific circumstances. None of those circumstances were present here.
Appeals courts tend to be much stricter than trial courts when it comes to enforcing the sentencing guidelines. Trial courts dislike the guidelines, because they limit the trial judge's prized discretion. Appeals courts don't care about trial court discretion in sentencing.

A racist Democrat donor who told Jamaican-American, veteran, and Republican gubernatorial candidate Winsome Earle-Sears to go back to Haiti lost his job with a Lockheed Martin subsidiary after his viral breakdown.
At the James Madison University football game on Saturday, Scott Pogorelc displayed KKK-style hysteria in the grand old tradition of the Democrat Party when he began yelling insults at Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears. “Go back to Haiti!” he bellowed, “traitor!” Turns out his employer didn’t want to be associated with his viral insanity and told Pogorelc to go back to unemployment.

I'm not gonna fight you, but I'll still disagree in that it could have been *better*.
IF I remember the plot correctly, it was too low-scoring to represent actual football. The title game was like 7-0, or at least was 7-0 for the longest time. That's 1 score to no-score. That made it more like soccer (*shudders*) than actual Football.
I enjoyed the drama, but not the football. As a result, I watched it once and only once (at the theater).

IT’S OFFICIAL: George Abaraonye has been ousted as Oxford Union president.
1228 members voted in favor of removal, compared to 501 who voted against.
This meets the required two-thirds majority.
Thank you to all who voted and made their voice heard.
For Charlie.

==================
LizLem, are we sure about this? News as of yesterday is that the Extraordinary Returning Officer suspended that decision after "obstruction, intimidation, and unwarranted hostility" from Abaraonye's representatives.

Great that means fucking up the government and economy is completely Republicans (MAGAs)
Except Republican donors have bought up the "liberal" media to the extent that they can get away with whatever narrative they want.
The filibuster has always been a method for politicians from both parties to tell voters whatever they want to hear without ever having to actually implement what they're saying. "End Obamacare!" \*filibuster\* "Medicare for all!" \*filibuster\*
I get people's concern that Republican's aren't going to respect elections moving forward, but these are the same extra-Constitutional features of our system that got us here. Burn 'em down.
The only thing stopping either party from doing this was the legitimate concern that they would eventually be out of power and need to use the filibuster. If they do this, it becomes even clearer that they never intend to be out of power.
They will not because the house would be brought back into session and the new congresswoman would sign the petition. Gotta keep suppressing the Epstein files!

He's making a show, but he's never had to perform in places where people might actually...disagree.
So, he picked a fight anyone with sense would have told him would be a loss, but no one who works with him have even a concept that it could have gone wrong.
He's going to be blamed so hard for Democrats failing to win the House in 2026. Hell, he'll be blamed if the Democrats do win the House but barely (1-5 seat majority).
He peaked way too early using a fight that was only going to blow up in his face.

I mentioned this yesterday, but I saw Tron: Ares. It wasn't terrible, the effects are gorgeous. The idea of having warriors raid a server farm like they are doing battle was clever. Lots of 80s memberberries. But they chose another Rose Tiko type as the lead girlboss, and she had zero chemistry with Jared Leto. She was better at driving street bikes than the AI warriors (yeah I know), yet they don't explain that motorcycles are her thing. I kept wishing they'd just hired the gorgeous actress that played Julie Mao in The Expanse, since racing bikes and her beloved Razorback was a key part of her personality. I kept pretending the main Asian actress was Florence Faivre instead, and it was a MUCH better film.
Also, The two main AI characters, Ares and Athena, had more motivation, depth, and humanity than all the humans in the film combined. It was so stark I almost wondered if that was on purpose. Like how they supposedly hired wooden actors for the leads in Starship Troopers to make the satire work better.

Terminator 2 was orders of magnitude better than the first one.
But that one was made within a few years of the original.
It sort of reminds me of the Alien to Aliens as well. The darker, more serious original followed up by a more action focused sequel.

Years ago I listened to a radio show where the DJ took call outs for songs.
She took a call from a copette on speeding ticket detail on a particular stretch of highway who was lonely after a break up.
A few minutes later a guy called in to dedicating some love song to her and said he'd be the guy doing 90MPH on the road if the copette wanted to meet up.
I suspect that introduction did not go well...

The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
All this is the fruit of a half-decade of misguided criminal-justice reforms and a political culture that produces soft-on-crime judges — both of them the product of the progressive “decarceral” movement that insists jail and prison are the wrong approach to even serial violent criminals, even as it offers no better way to protect the public.What is even more problematic is that the conventional wisdom is ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the mosque: Mamdani is an Islamist. He comes from a family of Islamists, and he embraces the goals of Islam, which is the creation of a world-wide Caliphate. His communism is a tool with which to bring sharia to the ignorant masses, and that is more dangerous than an incremental shift to the left for NYC. He will not defend the large Jewish community of NYC from the predatory anti-Semites who see Jews as fair game. He will shift the tone of the city administration to hyper-sensitivity to "anti-Muslim" rhetoric and behavior (which is a vanishingly small problem), and he will cheerfully allow sharia-compliant rules to ooze into city policies. And of course he will bring his lunatic foreign policy to New York City's streets. He claims that he will arrest the prime minister of Israel if he ever comes to NYC, under the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant. The small issue with that is: the United States is not a party to the ICC, so its warrants have no force of law in America. Will he also remove police protection from Jewish organizations and Israeli diplomatic facilities? Will he be antagonistic to traditional Christian organizations? Islam has a single goal, and its adherents are single-minded in its pursuit. Mamdani is simply an Islamist under cover of communism, using the useful idiots of the left to further his Islamist goals. It is tremendously destructive to have sharia-compliant cities in America. Dearborn MI, and Paterson NJ are small, but NYC is the largest city in the nation and will have a commensurate influence over policy and tone for the nation's cities. That is an unalloyed bad thing, and the next four years will be a struggle to combat encroaching Islam.

I invite you to copy the text and do the same so that we can end the revolving door of our courts for case criminals once and for all.
(Note: The same content is being sent to your Senatorial counterpart)
Sir:
In the execution of their duties, some justices across this nation are doing a great disservice to the public whom they serve. These justices have turned out criminal courts into a revolving door for the career criminals and habitual repeat offenders, granting them unmerrited probation and leniency on parole violations. This directly puts the public at danger and significantly increases the costs to our communities as police and prosecutors must continually expend our limited financial and labor resources to apprehend, process, and prosecute repeat offenders.
It is way past time for this situation to change and this practice to stop.
Since the states are the crucible of experimentation for the republic it behooves us to seek out possible solutions which can be tried, tested, refined and eventually elevated

to other states and eventually the nation.
Proposal: For all individuals convicted of 3 or more crimes, leave the decision on revocation of probation and or parole and the eligibility of the same in the hands of a 5 or 7 person jury.
Doing so would immediately end the revolving door of leniency as citizens would act in their self interest to ensure those who are a threat to our civil society are rightly denied the freedom they should not enjoy.
I ask and request that you and your peers draft and submit such legislation to affect this proposal and to shepherd it through the Legislative process until it becomes the law of our state.

Sir:
In the execution of their duties, some justices across this nation are doing a great disservice to the public whom they serve. These justices have turned out criminal courts into a revolving door for the career criminals and habitual repeat offenders, granting them unmerrited probation and leniency on parole violations. This directly puts the public at danger and significantly increases the costs to our communities as police and prosecutors must continually expend our limited financial and labor resources to apprehend, process, and prosecute repeat offenders.
It is way past time for this situation to change and this practice to stop.
Since the states are the crucible of experimentation for the republic it behooves us to seek out possible solutions which can be tried, tested, refined and eventually elevated to national implementation. Such is what I bring you and propose today.
Proposal: Restructure the state of South Carolina criminal courts to utilize a jury of 5 or 7 individuals of the public to decide matters of revocation of parole/probation and qualification and/or opportunity for probation in crimi

In a digital age, with zoom calls and instant communications available to all, there is no longer any reason for large concentrations of corporate power. They can fan out across the country, wherever local tax and economic benefits seem best.
In other words, there's no longer any reason for New York to exist other than as a shadow of what it formerly was.

What is even more problematic is that the conventional wisdom is ignoring the 800 pound gorilla in the mosque…
The tsunami of MAGA wins and converts has been so encouraging to see, bringing great hope for the future of our Republic, and the m/l free world, but the wall of opposition and thoughtless reactionaries creates a lot of concern. We can't afford to let up, lose to the communists and cohorts, before greater victory has been achieved, or we'll be in a situation like Israel when they don't finish the job IYKWIM.
Seems like we are going to need more Trumps, perhaps even more than Trump, in the coming battles, inspiring generals willing to go the distance, empowered by massive public support. A tall order, and one that `I would not even have thought to suggest just a few years back, but which in this era of renewed winning seems possible. God willing.

It's already set - the big banks will move to Dallas.

The truth is all large cities are pretty much in the same boat. NYC is probably the bellwether. The infrastructure and economy, structure of government, pensions, the whole shootin’ match is predicated on a legacy economy that died a long, long time ago.
They can’t print money, unlike the federal government. They are completely fooked, whether they recognize it or not. Mamdami represents the looting phase of the decline. It should likely be quite rapid at this phase, with astonishing speed. Or put another way, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

In part, "While other cities’ Muslims comprise mostly immigrants with smaller pockets of African Americans, in Philadelphia, the situation is reversed. The majority-minority city’s Muslims are predominantly Black Americans, with growing pockets of immigrant communities, including Palestinians, Bangladeshis, Uzbeks, who represent the diverse world of Islam. That, locals believe, creates a city with a distinct Muslim feel."
Another Mamdami: Philadelphia Councilmember Nicolas O'Rourke introduced the "Affordable Philly Now" package in October 2025, which draws inspiration from New York City politician Zohran Mamdani's campaigns.

The other key thing is that people vote with their feet - if you don't like the politics of the big blue city, you move elsewhere in the metro area (which generally has much more population outside the big blue city than the city has).
So, you generally get an ever-more-intense distillation of hard-core Leftism over time in big cities, because most people who disagreed with those policies have left.

Gonzales, 43, a married father of six representing Texas’s 23rd Congressional District, which stretches from San Antonio through Uvalde to El Paso, hired Santos-Aviles, 35, as his regional district director in 2021.

Gonzales, 43, a married father of six representing Texas’s 23rd Congressional District, which stretches from San Antonio through Uvalde to El Paso, hired Santos-Aviles, 35, as his regional district director in 2021.

That is the missing explanation in a really strange case - a month ago or so, Regina Santos-Aviles walked into her own back yard, poured a gallon of gasoline over her head, and set herself on fire. No one before now has ever admitted why she might do such a thing.

I doubt he is thinking quite that far ahead - or that he would want to - but the ability to take Mamdani and use him as tool to show lots of Americans what is behind curtain number 1, and actually start rolling back global Islam in the US would be an interesting thing - because the DOJ can pretty much wipe out anything he wants to do in that area from day 1.

Have you heard the story behind Norman Rockwell’s cover The Gossips? Some say the painting was Rockwell’s revenge on a woman in Arlington, Vermont, who’d spread an ugly rumor about him. He re-created the life of the rumor, beginning with an elderly woman whispering about Rockwell to a neighbor. From there the tale takes wing, speeding through town from one eager gossip to the next, until it comes back to Rockwell himself, who confronts the rumor’s originator in the bottom right.

Also by coincidence, I happen to know them both - one just quit because she was moving. The other quit because she took an offer from the school where she was a cop to be a teacher (the kids all love her).
But, because they work at the schools, the moms in town all immediately spun up the Facebook smear machine.
Within 24 hours, my wife (who uses FB) was all "lol, a bunch of these moms are saying it's because there's a harassment scandal in the PD. But some think they were caught having a lesbian affair."

“In 2018/2019, 61%, more than three in five Americans, blamed Trump a great deal for that particular shutdown,” he said. This time, however, “48% of Americans blamed Trump a great deal for this particular shutdown — it’s a different world.” That’s a 13-point drop, a statistical freefall in public blame assignment. ...
For Democrats, these aren’t just numbers on a poll—they’re alarm bells screaming red. The latest government shutdown, designed to hobble President Trump, has backfired spectacularly. Instead of weakening him, it seems to have reinforced his base and showcased his ability to govern without relying on Congress. Any illusions the left had about holding leverage over Trump have been shattered, and they should rethink their strategy.

Now, how would that look -- all the Democrat plantation goblins wildin' out in their shithole blue cities because they stopped getting welfare for chips & sodie

Now I can't remember the year--was it Obama or Bush?--when this actually happened.
A local Xerox data center went down, which was the locus of processing EBT payments for the area.
And the 13%ers basically rioted in the Walmart when the cards stopped.
And the manager was like, "f it--let 'em take it, I ain't having my store burned down."
But the fear from the Uniparty was real, just from that little "test."

I recommend this article explaining why a subset of Boomers are the way they are.
Why Woke Woodstock Boomers Must Protest
Why are there so many boomers at these protests?
Some people go to high school reunions, and they try to get “reacquainted” with that boy or girl they dated in their teen years. They do this, not because they still really are attracted to ‘the person,’ but rather it’s a last-ditch effort to reconnect with their own lost youth, their glory days, and to do this, they feel the need to be with someone who was there...
Another issue is somewhat related. Many older boomers feel rudderless. This is a generation that, in huge numbers, rejected religion. They led the way on divorce, abortion, broken families, which they broke, while serving their own capitalist desires by ushering in the dot-com boom and bust, massive stock gains, and huge tech innovations, creating Silicon Valley.

And I recommend this YD comment from a couple hours back:
These crunchy old Leftists fucks have been jerking each other off about their protesting glory days for more than fifty years. And because of the Leftist proclivity for entering media, all of it catered to their grandiose delusions of adequacy with endless hagiographies of their ephemeral hippie moment, their largely unpopular protest movements, their drug culture, and of course, an unremitting cavalcade of Beatles retrospectives.
As a result, they have a vastly overblown opinion of themselves, and now view their regrettable, misspent youth through the diaphanous veil of time, which softens the ugliness of it all.
This is their last chance to relive those halcyon Days of Whine and Roses, and they're grasping onto it with all the strength left in their bony old fingers.
It's not about politics. It's just their monumental, towering narcissism asserting itself one last time.

"WBD decided to publicly announce it has had interest from multiple parties after rejecting several different bids from Paramount and an offer from another company that was higher than Paramount’s, according to a person familiar with the matter. The WBD board believed Paramount may go public with its bid, which one source described as “higher than what’s been in the press” but below $30 a share, according to the person."
"Netflix and Comcast are among the interested parties, sources told CNBC’s David Faber."

WB is one of the oldest standing movie studios that still somewhat reflects its origins in a vague way. I don't want it to go pure streaming, its library hidden behind a monthly subscription.

OK I'm going to point this out once again. I was in Vietnam toward the end of the War (1970 - 1972) I'm 77. That makes me one of the youngest Vietnam era people. Nobody who was part of the Thing is as young as I am. More than half of the males who were part of the Thing have died of old age, since the life expectancy for males is 77. The old people 65 or so who were at the No Kings protest were around 10 years old during the Vietnam war. Somebody 65 now was 19 at the time President Reagan was first elected. So quit talking about these clowns having anything to do with The Thing. 10 year olds are rarely political.

Norman Rockwell
The Gossips Oil on canvas, painting for The Saturday Evening Post cover, 1948.
>Vintage Everyday, The Story Behind Norman Rockwell’s Most Famous Cover “The Gossips” in 1948, May 03, 2021
1940s, behind the scenes, humor & hilarious, illustration, life & culture, photography, portraits, work of art
It begins, "Have you heard the story behind Norman Rockwell’s cover The Gossips? Some say the painting was Rockwell’s revenge on a woman in Arlington, Vermont, who’d spread an ugly rumor about him. He re-created the life of the rumor, beginning with an elderly woman whispering about Rockwell to a neighbor. From there the tale takes wing, speeding through town from one eager gossip to the next, until it comes back to Rockwell himself, who confronts the rumor’s originator in the bottom right."
Reading the entire article recommended.
Like this painting & would hang it with rotational art.
Thanks.

Legacy cable network and tv properties are becoming a burden in an era of cord cutting. Comcast is doing the same thing and I think Disney will after Iger goes.
Online ad sales by aggregators like Google is eating legacy media's ad revenues to the point that radio and newspapers are almost dead, tv revenue is dying, and online ad revenue for independents is down 90 percent (Insty's own figures) from what it was.
If Big Pharma is no longer allowed to air ads for drugs, then a lot of the legacy broadcast and cable media on life support now will die.

People went election day to be a holiday
People are concerned about gerrymandering
People want ID to vote
And...I'm amused the first point is non-partisan. The second one is now something on the left's plate but there is no easy way to resolve - New England, for example, is the most heavily gerrymandered area in the country and the left says its just a coincidence...well, Texas and the rest can say the same.
Then finally, I thought ID to vote was white supremacist hate speech or something

They used the famous painting of the runaway kid with the hobo sack at the soda counter as an example, with the kindly cop talking to him and gently convincing him to go back home. That the cop was "too" friendly to the kid, if you catch my drift. And Rockwell was hinting at secret desires.

1930s, Hardships of the Great Depression
The American Youth Congress (AYC): Formed in 1934, eventually collaborated with 1st Lady Eleanor Roosevelt.
Radical student activists: Many students on campuses became politicized and organized protests for workers' rights, peace, and racial equality. Advocating for programs like Social Security. Unions influenced New Deal policies.
The Scottsboro Boys: This landmark case involved nine Black teenagers, some as young as 12, who were falsely accused of rape in Alabama in 1931. Hobos, rail riders.
1960s: The Greensboro Four: The Little Rock Nine; Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture). Decade of political assassinations.
1970s: Mohamed Ali; Billie Jean King; Jim Thorpe. Inflation, political upheaval.
1980s: Self expression.
I think real hardship does. And also some people create their own hardships to be able to claim need & belonging.

The massive ad buys before major elections let the unengaged know something is up, which is why school board elections and the like are cleverly held not just off year but off season in Wisconsin.
The teacher unions get out the vote on their side for these spring elections and no ad buys mean an awful lot of people don't even know there's an election going on unless they inadvertently pass a polling place with the sign out.
First they hear of it is the next day, when the results (all leftist wins) are reported in the press.

The Morning Report — 10/21/25
No kings? More like no young people. On Saturday, several so-called “No Kings” protests took place across the country. The protests looked more like an AARP meeting, with NBC Boston perhaps encapsulating the state of the protests best: “This is an older crowd … A lot of white hair. You see Q-Tips as we used to call them in the business … not a lot of young people.”
Then again, as commenter MP4 once sagely quipped at the beginning of the Trump = Hitler stupidity all those years ago now, "If Trump was a fraction of the Nazi the left claims he is they'd all be smoke up a chimney by now." All of the violence and tyranny comes from one direction and one direction only — the Left, meaning Democrats/Socialists and their ilk. Those who seek our enslavement and/or destruction. The ones who shriek loudest and shrillest about the supposed preservation of our precious democracy, and who use fists, bricks, firebombs and guns as the expression of their yearning for universal brotherhood. Long before any of the aforementioned can harm us, we'll all be choking on our own vomitus. And speaking of which, we have this ancient rotting corpse just rambling and shambling
Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) attempted to tie President Abraham Lincoln — America’s first Republican president — to Democratic socialism based on one line from his famed Gettysburg Address. . . . “You know what? People are saying here’s a radical idea,” Sanders said. “This is what Democratic Socialism basically means: let’s have a government that works for all the people, not just the billionaire class. Let’s end a corrupt campaign finance system that allows billionaires in both political parties to determine who wins elections.” . . . Sanders concluded by suggesting that Lincoln was actually talking about the same goal when he gave the Gettysburg Address: “Let’s try to create the kind of democracy that Lincoln talked about way back when, when he said ‘a government of the people, by the people, for the people.'”There isn't a dump truck full of flaming horse shit big, fiery and rancid enough to drown this horrendous zombie in. Rhetorically-speaking of course! /sarc. May the Good Lord turn him into a chandelier so he can swing by day and burn by night.

Do any of them know what makes King Charles a King in England? Do they know the responsibilities and powers of the King in England? Do they know what separates the responsibilities and powers of the King vs. those of the Prime Minister?
I don't even know. I doubt any of the Left know either.
Also, they should watch the movie "With Honors" (1994):
Our "founding parents" were pompous, middle-aged, white farmers, but they were also great men. Because they knew one thing that all great men should know: that they didn't know everything. They knew they were gonna make mistakes, but they made sure to leave a way to correct them. They didn't think of themselves as leaders. They wanted a government of citizens, not royalty. A government of listeners, not lecturers. A government that could change, not stand still. The president isn't an "elected king," no matter how many bombs he can drop. Because the "crude" Constitution doesn't trust him. He's a servant of the people. He's a bum, okay Mr. Pitkannan? He's just a bum. And the only bliss that he's searching for is freedom and justice.

I'm not sure about that article. He's certainly correct in thinking that retribution is the fundamental point of punishment, at least if we are concerned with justice.

The attrition from regular pension grabbing retirements is higher than this embarrassing 0.16% (5-10% is normal for public sector, private sector outside tech , retail/hospitality and healthcare is 10-15%)

The military and law enforcement is literally 80%+ of that number and Trump will not cut the military (or ICE) in this shutdown. And the other 20% had already left in huge numbers before now (see DOJ - really no RIFs there b/c SO MANY folks left voluntarily, they have to actually hire)...
The number of RIFs should be about 10K if this keeps going...that's a big percent out of the number left in the 20%...

I think that's overstating a bit. It's not a lunge for power.
These crunchy old Leftists fucks have been jerking each other off about their protesting glory days for more than fifty years. And because of the Leftist proclivity for entering media, all of it catered to their grandiose delusions of adequacy with endless hagiographies of their ephemeral hippie moment, their largely unpopular protest movements, their drug culture, and of course, an unremitting cavalcade of Beatles retrospectives.
As a result, they have a vastly overblown opinion of themselves, and now view their regrettable, misspent youth through the diaphanous veil of time, which softens the ugliness of it all.
This is their last chance to relive those halcyon Days of Whine and Roses, and they're grasping onto it with all the strength left in their bony old fingers.
It's not about power. It's just their monumental, towering narcissism asserting itself one last time.

Why does all this legal precedent come from just three judges? I feel like these things should be scrutinized by a larger legal council. Like several hundred judges voting.

The 4000 number comes from the court filing from that lawsuit where the language of the administration's response is, "Here's the 4,000 we know of right now, roughly noon on 10/10. We estimate it to be 10-20x more."
Also, every previous RIF has been affirmed by higher courts, so I expect the administration is pretty much just outright not complying with the judicial orders right now, knowing they have the right to do the RIFs.

Small government libertarianism's highlight was, ironically, 2012 with big government technocrat Mitt Romney nominating "fiscal hawk" Paul Ryan as his VP.
America rejected it.
The GOP evolved. And Trump's record has actually been one of incredible libertarianism in contrast to the past 100 years.
10-1. That's the deregulatory effort vs. increased regulation in his second administration (his first, it was 5-1). And most of the 1, the new regulations, are "deregulate more" in effect.
But that's not sexy. So, the left tries to burn down federal buildings in safe districts, Trump responds with the NG, and they scream about hypocrisy.

The 4000 number comes from the court filing from that lawsuit where the language of the administration's response is, "Here's the 4,000 we know of right now, roughly noon on 10/10. We estimate it to be 10-20x more."
OK, lets get some perspective here.
In the normal private sector the annual attrition rate is 10-15% for public sector 5-10%
Low end public: 120k
High end private rate: 360k
4000 x 20 times more!: 80k
THIS IS BELOW LOWEST CASE ATTRITION

the cuck shoomer Shutdown will end Thursday (23rd) at exactly 3:18 p.m.
Apparently, November EBT will not happen if the shutdown continues. This would cause meltdowns all across the country by people who have become/made dependent on food stamps (see: Obama paying bureaucrats to get people on food stamps for years, then covid shutdowns, etc.).
Leaves me wondering if this is the plan, or the reason Democrats will cave before the end of the month. TBD.

More seriously, the Left always pretends to have respect for Republicans they've long since destroyed (preferably dead ones) as a way to put down the current GOP. It's a game - as if to say "Oh, sure, we like some Republicans, but the current ones are The Worst!" This is always combined with completely mischaracterizing said dead/defeated Republican's policies/value/words. For example, recall how they were likening Obama to Reagan, or how they celebrated the previously eeeevil W. hanging out with Michelle Obama.

She probably has never even watched a Charlie Kirk video. If she had I think she would feel differently.
My experience with leftists is that they will only learn about their political opponent indirectly - they'll see on a lefty forum someone posting fake quotes from Kirk, and they'll assume the poster is being honest and correct and they will in turn post those fake quotes everywhere. Soon, everywhere they go they'll see fake quotes and since they see so many of them assume they must be correct.
But at no point will they go LISTEN to a Kirk speech/debate.

Stephen King posted to twitter that of course there are no Epstein files. That the only abusers were Epstein and Maxwell themselves and therefore rightwing conspiracy theorists should knock it off
Then a week later he posted that of course Trump was in the Epstein files.

In part, "Over 15 Congressional sessions, first a a member of the House and then in the Senate, Sanders has had only three bills directly become law - just 0.7% of the 421 bills he has sponsored during his legislative tenure. Two of these laws renamed Vermont post offices. this is the second lowest ratio for any current senator who has served across 10 or more sessions.
Unable to find a major bill that Bernie Sanders solely sponsored that has become law since 2020.
He has, however, piggybacked on several bills that have passed such as parts of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (S293
in 2022; Medicare for All Act (S1129), introduced 2019 but not passed into law. He cosponsored the Environmental Justice for All Act (S4401) in 2020; it did not become law.

Gary Larson has this on his website, which seems apt:
But as the digital world gathered speed, I was as excited as most of us who lived outside the tech world (and back then, as a cartoonist, you couldn’t get much further outside of tech unless maybe you were a coal miner) and were seeing all these amazing tools unfold. Tools to help us better communicate, write, explore, and learn. (Of course, soon to be adding hack, steal, exploit, deceive, bully, and maybe destroy democracy, but hey, what’re a few wrinkles? We’ll figure this out. Or not.)

When really little, dad made me a Mighty Mouse car out of cardboard. I was so excited—my birthday was coming up & I envisioned myself driving my friends around
At some point as I was babbling during the construction my dad said “[Aelf], you don’t expect this to *run*, do you?”

I spent the weekend watching two performances of Titanic: The Musical at the Ogunquit Playhouse in Maine. A very good show, near-Broadway calibre and almost as good as the original 1997 production.
My only sour note came from my own dark soul, when I watched the performers and thought to myself that I'll never create something as beautiful as the music pouring out from the orchestra pit or as meaningful as the book and lyrics.
I wish a lot of things every day* - that I were thinner, better looking, desirable, richer, sober - but the one thing I want most of all is to be able to have just one day of complete happiness.
*despite my once having written that the most horrible words in the word are "I wish."

trouper
noun
an actor or other entertainer, typically one with long experience: an old trouper out for one last look at his adoring public.
• a reliable and uncomplaining person: a real trouper, Ma concealed her troubles.
USAGE
The traditional spelling for the sense ‘a reliable and uncomplaining person’ is trouper, not trooper. More than two thirds of examples of this use in the Oxford English Corpus are spelled trooper, however, and this form has become common even in edited text. Nonetheless, trooper is still regarded by many as incorrect

State Farm actually cancelled my brother’s insurance on a truck years ago because he had made three windshield replacement claims in the span of a year.
All three of them happened on I-26 from random rocks flying up and spiderwebbing the glass.
Granted, he drove his truck a lot for his business but it’s not his fault the state made insurance companies pay to replace windshields, that there are so many freight truck drivers on I-26 coming from the ports, or that SC sucks so badly at maintaining the interstate.

And as he silently rode,
Where evil violently flowed
They knew he'd live or he'd die by the code
Of the Lawman.
The man who rides all alone
And all that he'll ever own,
Is just a badge and a gun and he's known
As the Lawman.

The last time this kind of outage happened, I was working on a different contract. I came in to the office and was quickly greeted by one of the engineers who warned me ahead of time about it.
No problem. I settle in and do what work I can. But since I was the point of contact over this, I was getting a lot of visitors. I printed out a sign that said "We are aware of the outage. At this time there is no ETA on resolution." The engineer that warned me about things gave me some balloons to frame it. Worked great.

On Friday, Mikey McCoy, Kirk's former chief of staff, read out an open letter to the Oxford Union on The Charlie Kirk Show podcast.
It accused the union of becoming a place where "presidents of the union publicly celebrate the assassination of a political opponent".
The letter said that if Mr Abaraonye were to remain in post, Kirk's allies would "personally contact every American political speaker who has ever graced the union's chamber and urge them never again to lend their name, time or reputation to that institution that has betrayed its founding ideals".

The "thinner" part is fairly simple. Note that I did not say "easy." But eating less (and fewer carbs) and walking some distance every day is a simple routine to get into. And I know also from long personal experience that exercising three or four times a week will lift your spirits, and your energy level, immeasurably.
Please give these suggestions a try. We do not want to lose your voice, insights, and presence around here.

Let me explain to you what Candace Owens is doing:
Candace is trying to coax those who are bound by the gag order in the Kirk assassination case (which is normal for cases of that magnitude to ensure a fair trial) to violate the gag order.
This could trigger a mistrial. If it does, she will say that a mistrial occurred because "the case fell apart" due to there being "too many holes" when, in reality, SHE will have caused the case's collapse due to procedural violations.
When she is then threatened and possibly charged with witness tampering and obstruction, she will claim she is being "censored" and that *THEY* are trying to "shut her down" for "asking questions."
This ends with no justice for Charlie Kirk and all eyes on Candace Owens, which is precisely what she wants.
This is all transparently a grift and it is time that everyone stops being afraid to call it what it is.

Good morning, Hordians. Got a project finished yesterday, starting another today or tomorrow, and I have a phone call this morning about a third one.
The search firm I work with sends me requests from clients - usually unclear, badly written and with no references to work from - I do them, write a report and send it to the firm, who sends it off to the client.
I almost never hear back from anyone whether what I've done is good, bad, useless or helpful. But they keep sending me work to do, frequently from the same clients, so no one seems to be too dissatisfied.

He's currently being extradited to Florida where he'll face multiple charges, including written threats to kill.
Where do you think he got the idea that I was involved in Charlie's murder?

When calmly informed that every president for a century has wanted to do this, and that its being funded by Trump himself and private donors, they are fummoxed and insist its tone deaf and awful and elitist.
The freakouts are deliciously hilarious, if it weren't for the fact that they are signaling to their more bloodthirsty loons to DO SOMETHING.

I got the Heritage Rough Rider single-action .22 for my petite youngest daughter. She has the 6.5" barrel model and can shoot it very well.
The single action makes it very slow and deliberate - so the Weasel Words of "work on your fundamentals" have time to sink in.
I think the short-barrel version would probably be a good teaching firearm for a youth shooter.

The problem is that respect for the umpire is part of baseball. They have already undermined that by having instant replay.
Bob Uecker used to say that he once told the ump, "That's not a strike!" and the ump replied, "Yes, it was, and so will the next one be."
The DH, timed pitches, no good collisions at the plate, no double switch, all this is contributing to the ruin of baseball.
I'm becoming an old coot where this is concerned.

We don't own the media so we don't get to drone people with our story 7 x 24 but massive election wins speak louder than retards on MSNBC in costumes.

Spotting a ghost runner on 2nd in extra innings, DH in both leagues, shutting down most of the minor league system, the computer calling pitches, every year its one or two new crappy ideas and its not even the game any more.
I watched a bunch of old games on Youtube last year, and it was jaw dropping. The game moved fast, the players were professional and adult. The talent was on display. The rules were straight forward and simple.

Sigh. When we bought out my sibling-partners for the old family ranch three decades ago, we thought we'd be doing it for the kids and the grandkids.
Oldest, daughter, had bad relationships, and a miscarriage in her first, brief marriage. Finally found a great guy, but they haven't been able to have a child yet, and it's getting late.
Of our twin sons, the good and faithful cowboy-hat wearing Ford F150 driving pistol-packing hard worker has a confirmed bachelor t-shirt, but there's still hope.
His fraternal brother got married and they had our only two grandkids so far. They got TDS, gender bent, and all associated crazy, completely cut off the rest of us racist homophobic etc etc family, then moved from Oklahoma to… Minnesota. Haven't seen our grandbabies since my mom's funeral.

I was a Dodgers fan before there were any Mariners, but over the years it just became a money game. I was so excited about a Brewers/Mariners WS. Clearly the markets are just too small and Otani isn't on either team, so they had to make it come out this way.
Can we please hire some decent umps behind the plate? Just once I would like to see the strike zone the same for both teams. I guess I should go back to watching summer leagues.

Pitchers used to bat so having a batter/Pitcher, rare that it is these days, is sort of an updated version of that. Having Ps bat added all kinds of strategy to the game especially game 7s; I do miss that aspect of the game. 60's/70s managers would have been swapping pitchers like madmen to get an edge in the late innings in these on the line games - that didn't happen tonight. It is a very different game these days.

The other story, since you all begged me to tell you, is the state of the Oxford Union, whose President-Elect was once crushed in debate with Charlie Kirk.
This President-Elect is one George Abaraonye, a DEI admission who shouldn't even have been admitted to Oxford much less elevated to leadership of the Oxford Union (people have uncovered his prior grades). He is a slovenly, mumbling disgrace whose dreds, headwrapping, and ragged dress have earned him the moniker of Temu Jack Sparrow. When Charlie was assassinated, he xeeted that Charlie deserved it. When outrage ensued, he doubled down.
James Price, the honorary secretary of the Oxford Union, resigned, in one of the most principled, exhilarating statements of outrage I have seen in lo these many years.
Members of the Oxford Union ultimately voted No Confidence in Abaraonye, which ended his bid for Presidency. Until...

...until the Extraordinary Returning Officer (whatever that is, I have no idea about these titles) announced that after "obstruction, intimidation, and unwarranted hostility," he has CAVED and suspended the Members' vote, which means Temu Jack Sparrow has another chance to proceed to the Presidency.
The Letter of Cave is an exemplar of soft-shoe cowardice and helplessness in the face of obnoxious racists and leftists the like of which Chamberlain himself would deplore.
The good guy in this is James Price (Honorary Secretary -- resigned), and the Members who voted to cut Temu Jack Sparrow, although I don't know who they were.

Sorry Captain!
We did the Lasix balancing act for many years with my father. (He was on the edge of congestive heart failure for a long time after his second quadruple bypass.)
He got pretty attuned to feeling a bit "wonky" and short of breath when his fluids were too high. They would then hit him with Lasix and pull down the fluids after a few days.
I believe(?) the balancing act of doing that for years eventually puts significant stress on the kidneys.
He survived all of that though, and died due to complications of multiple myeloma.
Keep fighting the good fight!

I don't blame anyone for being suspect about our chances. It's entirely reasonable given the state of where not just this country but the world is today.
Yes, Trump won in 2020 and it was stolen. I've been saying this since the election and many other have too. And it no longer sounds like a conspiracy theory to most people because it isn't. It was obviously stolen.
But it's not 2020 anymore and we aren't going to allow that bullshit to happen any longer. I don't know how people are still black pilling in 2025 after all the wins we continue to have. If you expect to lose you will. If you don't except losing you won't. Might be ugly and take longer than you want but you will win if you are fighting for truth.

Absent any input from SMOD or bored hostile aliens, either we will have that fight, or the progs will, eventually. Things will come to a head with the left first, at least here.
Western Europe is probably already doomed. 30 years at the absolute outside - the demographics have shifted and that pig is working through the python. You know who will never get overrun by islamists? China. Concentration camps put a stop to that before it got off the ground. Unpleasant, especially with the PRC's penchant for parting people out, but sorta is what it is.

Ohhh lord. I had a cat that brought in a rabbit as big as itself. Of course, he only stunned it and then lost interest, and when the rabbit revived, it wiggled under my sofa where I was loath to get it out.
Had another cat that caught something I can't even name. A mole? A vole? Anyway, I was sleeping on the floor in those days and I awoke to find cat chewing away on something half its size, about 6 inches from my face. I bolted out of the bedroom and tiptoed in an hour later. Couldn't find a trace of the "breakfast." Cat had eaten that thing whiskers, claws, tail, and all.

Of course not, and they have already promised reprisals when they can swing it. If something bad happened to him Vance would have to join a single digit club of leaders towering over history to avoid an equally historical bloodbath.
Don't forget, things are really fucking bad and getting worse. People aren't just tired of the left, they are tired of damn near everything being broken - less than half of those 18-35 have a full time job. Single digit % of those under 30 own a home.

Blonde, that fudge place is awesome. Don't know why they are temporarily closed. There is a pie place that is also great. I still enjoy visiting Fredericksburg. It has just changed...a lot.
Posted by: BarelyScaryMary
=============
I'd like to know the pie place. It was so hard to tell the tourist traps from the real thing in that town, but the fudge was divine. I never knew I wanted fudge with cherries and walnuts until I had it, and now I need to know that it still exists on the earth.
I went back to google (barf) and it seems it's been acquired by "Fischer & Wieser." I hope it hasn't changed.

But the best was the two devils in hell saying 'we're just not getting thru to that guy' as a goofy guy whistling and with a smile goes by with a load of brimstone.
It so reminded me of a coworker who no matter what, was always happy.

I need to find a better source for that taylor ham. The store didn't have as much as I hoped, and we got all they had. They did have another brand, but not taylor brand, and taylor is the original. I see huge rolls of the different brand. I have to get one and see how it compares. I never tried it, but it might be really good. Every diner, bagel place, breakfast place, etc, has it, so its possible it might be one of the other brands. Its possible I had it and never knew it. If it passes muster I'll be bringing that too next time.

3000sq ft, 2 acres, ranch house. I got it easy compared to others, I got a cousin in NE jersey in one of those nice old 3 floor jobs where the servants lived on the 3rd floor. His taxes are over 20K. My old house was half the size of this house, on 1/2 acre, 5 miles away from where I am now, and it was $9700. I got lucky, for lack of a better word.
Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division at October 21, 2025 01:29 AM (snZF9)
That is around $6.00 per sq. ft. per year in NJ while in NM I am paying a bit over a $1.00 per sq. ft. I am good where I am at. I am going out on limb here but I don't think the quality of life in NJ is six times better than I have here in NM.

I had an aunt who was going to build her retirement home on a remote piece of property when she was 75. 30 miles of winding two lane blacktop to the nearest doctor, and that road often sees two feet of snow before the plows get to it. Throw in a quarter mile of driveway with three feet of snow on it during much of the winter. Fortunately, she reconsidered.

I've been watching a video by ReasonTV about rent control in New York. People, of course, are idiots, but I have some ideas as always...
Landlords should post signs on the outside of their buildings: "There are 6 perfectly livable units in this building that I can't rent out because of the laws in this city. Sleep in your storage units, idiots."
Got another one, add a clause to the leases for rent-controlled units: "By paying only $[amount] for rent, I am knowingly causing other people to pay outrageous rents or sleep in the streets, and I agree to have my name and ridiculously low, sub-market rental fee posted publicly."

A Case of the Mondays Cafe
The FA part was fun, the FO part less so. Men posting their W's. Duck cares for a puppy. Fish with a human-ish face reminds me of the fish scenes in Monty Python's Meaning of Life. Bison highway stampede. Sea otter mom has ants in her pants while her son is relaxed and still. Horse chokeslams another horse like he's Ezra Miller in Iceland. Key to winning a ram head-butt fight: Get lower than your opponent. Penguins. Golden retriever acts as a cat cooler in an animal production of Road House. Chinese safety awareness videos. I gotta say, they are usefully direct and morbid in their warnings. I don't think American countries would be allowed to post videos like this. Snowflakes would be triggered. Thanks to RD Brewer.

I was cutting grass today on my postage stamp I call a yard. I scared up a bunny roaming in my yard.
It approached the chain link fence separating my yard from my neighbor's yard. One moment the rabbit was on my side of the fence. I blinked and suddenly the rabbit was on the other side of the fence.
I could not find a hole that appeared big enough for this rabbit. He was a good sized rabbit.

Glad you made it home safe. : )
We were gone about ten days also, and we had a pet sitter come by every day to scoop out the litter boxes and play with the kittehs. The sitter was an absolute angel and would send us pics of the kittehs while we were gone.
For anyone needing a pet sitter, rover dot com is a great resource in finding reliable sitters in your AO.

I just heard of Rover recently, and I'm going to give it a try. I got spoiled while my niece lived close by. She loved to take care of Bing. My brother & SIL are close by and are happy to feed him if they're in town, but I'm traveling a lot these days.
I have good neighbors that I sometimes ask to feed Bing, but they already help me out with some yard stuff (burning my limbs and sticks) that I hate to ask for more.

I was cutting grass today on my postage stamp I call a yard. I scared up a bunny roaming in my yard.
It approached the chain link fence separating my yard from my neighbor's yard. One moment the rabbit was on my side of the fence. I blinked and suddenly the rabbit was on the other side of the fence.
I could not find a hole that appeared big enough for this rabbit. He was a good sized rabbit.
Teleporting rabbits!

In college, at the Rat, a friend and I got up on a table and blasted out a rendition of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit. Got a standing ovation. I suspect it was more for wearing a miniskirt while standing on a bar table than any "singing" we may have committed. I have abstained (from singing, not beer) since then.

DH won't fly steerage any more. I get about half a seat next to him, and it isn't like he's a land whale. His knees hit the seat in front of him, and heaven forbid the person in front puts the seat back. Both of us prefer to arrive at our destination not smashed into each other, sweaty and crabby, and he prefers to be able to walk after a flight.
Probably doesn't pencil out, but they do feed you and drinks are on the house. You arrive nearly human.
Any flight we take has at least one stop and usually two, and takes all damned day. Not possible to survive in coach, that's for sure.

Years ago we were flying home from Hawaii and my ex was trying to sleep and the little angel sitting behind her kept kicking her seat. She asked him and his mother who was sitting next to him to stop. He didn't. So she took it to the next level. She stood up and told him if he kicked her seat again she would rip his leg off and beat him to death with it. And she would have done it.
The rest of the flight was uneventful.

Bullshit. The only people who believe that crap were the people out walking around in costumes. They aren't winning converts.
Look at the polling. Democrats are in a historically weak place right now and that protest did nothing to help their cause. Trump's approval rating is actually up since the shutdown started. And that's according to CNN not me.

All you've "shown" is an anecdote based on an unfortunate domestic situation. I've a friend who is conservative but for reasons known only to God and himself, married a very, very liberal woman. But they are happy together, and I guess that counts for something, but I would never confuse her for being any sort of bellwether.

Yet married white women will STILL be the leading vote getters for the DNC in '26, '28, and generally until we all die.
Its a mystery though - to even suggest that they vote that way for a reason. Anecdotal my ass. Trying to figure out why might involve anecdotal evidence.

Years ago when it was still the Whitbread Race a Russian team brought their boat to the Newport Boat Show and took people for rides to try and raise some money. To say it was a shoestring budget team would be an understatement. They told us most of their diet was potatoes. Super.

We got to stay in the barracks the couple times I was there with ROTC. So no creepy-crawlies to worry about. The land-nav course had had enough folks through it that chiggers were no problem.
Better spiders than chiggers, in almost any case. Unless the spiders were brown with violin-shaped markings or black with red hourglasses (both of which can be found in that locale).

True boat people are a breed apart. They try to live on the water as much as possible. Move from port to port, fish here and there, dinner starts with downriggers, passes through the cleaning station, ends on a grill.
It's not a bad way to live, but it costs a lot more than most people think and you can easily go broke trying to do it.
The breeze of the Great Lakes, the sunrises and sunsets are pretty cool, but stagnant water, fuel, fish guts and of course the isolation did not appeal to me. I wanted to be chasing girls, not stuck on a fricken boat all summer.

My Psych 101 take is that it is a paradoxically as "safe" book because it is an unabashed work of fiction, so women who have been denied bodice-rippers (so problematic!) take refuge in the absurd.
We are in a place where banging a minotaur is considered a more acceptable fantasy than a pirate who is also the Earl of Rochester in disguise.

One of the guys was an American Airlines mechanic so he got to fly for $25. Another one ran a captain sailing school on Lake Grapevine. Because they all went a couple of times a year and they had their captain's licenses, we didn't have to hire a crew.

US Attorney Lindsey Halligan Fires Two More Prosecutors, Alledging Unauthorized Leaks to Press
Where are they going to get their anti-Trump DOJ scoops from now?!?!Yeah I'll bet.
President Donald Trump's hand-picked interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan has fired more senior prosecutors from the Eastern District of Virginia office, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. Beth Yusi and Kristin Bird were no longer with the office as of Friday. Yusi has been with the Department of Justice since 2007. One source said that Halligan believed the attorneys to be leaking "unauthorized" information to the press. The other source added that they received termination letters. CNN has reached out to Yusi and Bird for comment.
Halligan has moved quickly to assert her authority over the office, with several recent firings and departures, and she has become personally involved in courtroom proceedings -- which is unusual for a US attorney --in the recent indictments of Trump foes James Comey and Letitia James. The move indicates a deepening split between Halligan, who leads the powerful office, and its roster of experienced prosecutors. The Trump DOJ's slow-motion Saturday Night Massacre The departures mark the latest in a string of resignations and firings in the Eastern District of Virginia in less than a month. CNN reported earlier this week that Maggie Cleary, the senior Justice Department prosecutor who briefly led EDVA, had been removed from the office, according to two people familiar with the matter. The first Trump-appointed US attorney in the Eastern District of Virginia, Erik Siebert, resigned under pressure from Trump, as resistance in the office built around charging Comey at the end of September.
Sources tell me the prosecutors—Elizabeth Yusi and Kristin Bird—were fired, escorted from the building, and stripped of security clearances for leaking info on sensitive investigative matters to MSNBC and Fusion Ken in particular https://t.co/SgoPSBN5fv

274 First time mom was starting to panic a bit as baby was measuring smaller than the "expectation" on her last two check-ups.
We sent some prayers her way from the MoMe. I think they helped with her peace for the delivery.
She is not my toughest daughter, yet did the delivery without an epidural. She really wanted to do everything just right for the baby.

I don't really like Nixon. I have no dog in that fight.
If he was guilty, I would not care. But historians have judged him correct in saying "I did nothing Jack Kennedy didn't do, himself."
JFK was the *first* US president to sick the IRS on his political foes. JFK even came up with an "Enemies list", first.
Interesting fact is that while they were in the Senate, and until they had to run against each other, Nixon and Kennedy were best buds. (Saw that in 10 Things You Don't Know)

Ken Dilanian had a very strong association as the reporter for sources to leak natsec materials.
Fusion moniker came from the Glenn Simpson, Fusion GPS.
That company specialized in dirty tricks and became the conduit of the Steele dossier with Nellie Ohr, and others working for doing Hillary oppo research. IIRC, the Steele dossier initially started and paid for by GOPe mega donor Paul? Singer to help Rubio in 2016 but discontinued after Rubio flamed out in the primaries.
It is possible that Fusion was one of the contractors that was illegally using Scifs at the FBI to conduct NSA queries (the mistake on Michael Cohen was an example) or was the receiver of such documents. Crowdstrike is speculated to have been another and then you had CISA and academia involved. Then the FISA warrants were opened on Carter Page and Papadoupoulos which permitted the FBI and contractors to snope when NSA access was cut off by Adm Rogers.
Ken was the public mouthpiece of a whole host of really ugly and criminal people that tried to launch a coup against an elected president.

"Poor Hillary, I just saw her as a little woman who's married to that dirtbag" or whatever he said. I could hear him saying "Obama's a nice guy, he was a terrible president but a nice guy, I don't want to make trouble for him."
He doesn't seem to realize that it's not about him. It's about all of us wanting to know that we live in a land where the rule of law prevails. It's also about the fact that if you permit it, you'll get more of it.

277 I'm not here to defend Massie. I'm not sure what's he's been doing or why, especially recently, because it always seems to help the Dems, but I do know a few things because I used to work for him at a small startup company.
First, he's not stupid. He's a tech genius, having invented a haptic device that allows you to use your sense of touch to interact with computer modeling software. He did that and created the company while he was still at MIT. Just one of his many technical achievements.
Second, he's anything but a RINO. At least not then, and nothing I've read has disabused me of that fact.
He may be an unregenerate Libertarian -- and to be honest, I've lost my patience with them -- but he was, let's just say, unpopular, back then back in Massachusetts among employees and others for his well-known political views.
In short, people marveled at his brains but Mass-types did not care for his politics. At all.
So, as I said, I don't care for what he's doing, especially when it comes to thwarting MAGA, but to say he's a stupid RINO is seriously wrong on bo

FBI Now Investigating a "Hunting Stand" With a Clear Line of Fire to Air Force One's Landing Strip at Palm Beach Airport
What are these youthful No Kings Q-tip scamps up to now?
Related: Wisconsin Democrats hand out "Is He Dead Yet?" bracelets, calling for the assassination of Trump.
The US Secret Service is investigating what could be a sniper's nest or a hunting stand near an area where President Trump's Air Force One has recently been kept at Palm Beach International Airport, according to sources. The suspicious stand, found Thursday, is in a tree and within the line of sight of the section of the airport where Trump exits the presidential jet, and was described to The Post by law enforcement sources as an odd collection of pipes. There was no ammunition or explosives found, but it raised the service's alarm. Authorities do not know yet whether it is a hunting stand or merely junk in a tree -- or has a more nefarious purpose, sources said. The area could be used by hunters who go after invasive green iguanas, the sources added. "Prior to the president's return to West Palm Beach, USSS discovered what appeared to be an elevated hunting stand within sight line of the Air Force One landing zone," FBI Director Kash Patel told Fox News, which first reported the story. ... The investigation is more of a precaution, the sources said.
Wisconsin Democrats were tossed from a farmers market after a vile volunteer handed out "Is he dead yet?" bracelets -- including to a young child -- in an apparent reference to President Trump. The Winnebago County Democratic Party will no longer host a table at the Oshkosh Farmers Market as incendiary rhetoric against Trump and his allies has ramped up since the Republican returned to the White House this year. The latest instance of menacing words came when a volunteer handed out the hateful bracelet to an 8-year-old child, who then showed it to their mother on Sunday, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Local mother Katy Neubauer called the bracelet "hate speech" against the president. The child's mother, Katy Neubauer, was left stunned by the bracelet and dropped it back in the basket at the committee's table, which also had other anti-Trump material, according to the newspaper. "It's hate speech. I mean, it's literally wishing death on somebody, which isn't appropriate in any scenario," the outraged mom told Fox 11 News. Oshkosh Farmers Market manager Michelle Schmid-Schultz told the station it was the local Democratic committee that handed out the bracelets, which yielded about 10 complaints from patrons and broke market rules. She said local party officials and the market agreed that the Winnebago Dems won't be back for the final two markets wrapping up the summer season.

Hunting blinds... for iguana hunting.
As though there are wary and flighty herds of iguana running through the jungles for Florida, and to catch even one a hunter has to be still and silent for extended periods of time.
Based on the videos I've seen the biggest challenge to hunting iguanas is making sure they don't hit your head when they fall out of the trees after you plug them.

You don't need to hunt iguanas in South Florida, they're everywhere.

Two questions: What is the distance and which way would a potential shooter be looking.
If the shooter looks over the big branch to get line of sight, then, possible, because he could get a nice stable position. Opposite way would be a difficult shot.

These are the same destructive trolls that "occupied" the Capitol Building in Madison and wrote on the beautiful marble walls with Sharpies, shit in the hallways when the bathrooms were locked, and made horrific noise for months on end just because they didn't like the Governor.
Doesn't take much for toddlers to lapse into tantrums.
Oh, and they didn't bathe, either, which made the Capitol Building a sort of open sewer with accompanying stench.

Trump to deploy members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland.

Okay, I have a basic question about this. What is Trump's rationale for this, and what exactly can the National Guard do in cities like Portland and San Francisco? Is he limiting National Guard activity to protecting federal assets and protecting ICE? I don't get how citizens of Memphis are saying "Cool, I can walk the streets now!" What is the National Guard doing exactly that's legal?

=========
National Guard troops from a state where the governor supports activation (feds pay the troops) have arrest authority which sidesteps Posse Comitatus laws that forbid active duty troops from doing that. Thus, Memphis. In Portland and Chicago, Natl Guard troops from other states are being sent in to guard federal facilities. That frees up federal authorities like Border Patrol, ICE, FBI, DEA, etc. to go back to arresting and deporting criminal assholes rather than guarding ICE facilities.
Also, suddenly, if rioters go after federalized Nat Guard members, then Insurrection Act can be invoked. Once invoked, Posse Comitatus no longer applies and federal martial law can bypass state and local courts and law enforcement entirely.

He's not. Also reason why Trump is sending Natl Guard troops from outside the states of Oregon and IL. They don't have arrest authority until and unless the Insurrection Act is invoked. Allows scarce federal ICE, Border Patrol, etc. to go back to arresting and deporting criminals instead of guard facilities.

A little more than a year ago, the Secret Service was passively trying to get Trump shot, and I'm not confident at all they aren't still trying.

But all the better to have them wandering in a swamp miles away from Trump in person in Florida.

Check for fingerprints and DNA to identify whoever now or in the future.
Chop down the tree.
Set up hidden cameras in the general area. See who wanders in. Detain and identify them for 24 hrs. Check for gunpowder residue.

We shall see. The problem for Dems is that criminals by definition do not take orders well and Portland and PNW has been the center of antifa for a long time.
I think in Chicago it is more the illegal gangs and their sympathesizers involved. Chicago is a gang ridden city where the gangs have thoroughly penetrated governments of Chicago and outlying suburbs.

Also, suddenly, if rioters go after federalized Nat Guard members, then Insurrection Act can be invoked. Once invoked, Posse Comitatus no longer applies and federal martial law can bypass state and local courts and law enforcement entirely.

It's not entirely clear who first found it. The Post story says "law enforcement sources," while Kash says it was the USSS. It could actually have been some Joe Blow who told local cops, who then told the USSS. So the USSS might have been the LAST people to find out about it.
By the way, why is Kash telling us about it and not Sean Curran or Kristi Noem?

It will. But in the meantime, they can pull the worst gangbangers off the street, and that will quiet things down for awhile. I expect it'll be a few years before Memphis is the most violent city in America again, after the NG clears out.
Of course, Memphis could make the improvement permanent by voting out their corrupt government and demanding reform of their completely compromised PD in the meantime, but that's just too much to ask.

Actually surges work pretty well. It is a relatively small number of ganged up individuals that are driving crimes as in 70-80 percent of crimes coming from less than 20 percent of criminals.
You want to break the gangs, you go after the super predators with federal charges (see Project Exile in Richmond as an example) which bypasses the easy come easy go local court systems that result in revolving doors for career criminals.

Digging the pickle queen
Friday night and the lights are low
Looking out for a place to go
Where they play the right music, getting in the swing
You come to look for a king
Anybody could be that guy
Night is young and the music's high
With a bit of rock music, everything is fine
You're in the mood for a dance
And when you get the chance
You are the pickle queen
Young and sweet, only seventeen
Pickle queen
Feel the beat from the tambourine
Oh, yeah

Posted by: Axeman

Troops are allowed to protect federal property full stop. See Ft. Sumter for example. States and local governments do not have the affirmative duty to protect federal property and they haven't in blue shitholes.
So Trump is bringing in out of state troops so that the besieged agents can quit being on the front lines and go back to arresting criminals. Natl Guard also has some useful toys beyond most federal law enforcement and if the antifa types step on federal property or attack, then that triggers federal charges and perhaps invocation of Insurrection Act.
If your worry is 10th, it doesn't apply to federal charges nor federal property. So no casuistry needed.
Crap like this happened in the old days of the Reconstruction where KKK and their sympathizers carried out a cold war against federal occupying troops.

National Guard troops from a state where the governor supports activation (feds pay the troops) have arrest authority which sidesteps Posse Comitatus laws that forbid active duty troops from doing that. Thus, Memphis.

I'm just saying in the chance that Trump wants to treat these places the same as DC, where he has ample jurisdiction, although I can feel sympathy for the sanity of just bringing the concept of Law and Order back into the topic, I just couldn't endorse it as *legal* to my lay understanding.
Yes, I definitely believe that it is within discretion to use the NG to protect federal facilities--and federal agents.

It is being appealed, and the tribe didn’t ask for the private property / deeded property back. The judge just went over and above the ask. The Tribe sued for government property and specific corporate property in I believe an archaeological area (don’t quote me on that last part), and there is still open how compensation will work for those who lose their property if private property is taken, even though the tribe doesn’t want it.

She is not my toughest daughter, yet did the delivery without an epidural. She really wanted to do everything just right for the baby.

I missed this comment but due to the way our laws are constructed plus Scotus decisions in Clinton v. New York and Printz v. US, state and local officials have no positive duty to cooperate in any way with federal law enforcement.
You can make the argument by failing to protect federal facilities that it is obstruction but that is a hard reach with today's interpretation of laws.
But some of the old histories of the Reconstruction and official reports ( I was at the Citadel's library researching something else when I came upon them), were something else in describing just how lawless the area was after the civil war ended. Georgia had similar problems.

After October 7 and the Anti-Jewish Violence and Harassment That Followed It, Biden's DOJ Rushed Into Action... to Defend Muslims Against "Backlash"
The Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to address anti-Muslim and anti-Arab biases in tandem with activist groups shortly after Hamas's Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel ignited a wave of antisemitism, newly released documents show. The Biden-Harris administration's top law enforcement engaged with "Muslim, Arab, Sikh, and South Asian communities," dubbed "MASSA" groups, in the weeks following the Islamic terrorist attack, according to internal communications obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DOJ's Civil Rights Division (CRD) under former Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke consulted MASSA groups to help counter "backlash" against their communities, comparing it to the aftermath of 9/11.
Former President Joe Biden's CRD "essentially functioned as an arm of leftist groups," American First Legal (AFL) President Gene Hamilton, whose organization acquired the documents through public records requests, told the DCNF. "The Biden Department of Justice was singularly focused on advancing a radical, weaponized agenda instead of protecting the American people," Hamilton said.
Cartelville Text The CRD planned a meeting in November 2023 with groups that included Muslim groups Emgage and Muslim Advocates, as well as the Sikh Coalition and United Sikhs, the records show. The meeting was slated to address problems plaguing "MASSA" communities such as "Hate Crimes Against Arabs And Others In the U.S. in Connection with" the Israel-Hamas war, "Asylum and Visa Delays" and "Profiling and Bias in Policing." Other listed topics pertained to alleged "doxxing" and "hate" directed at those advocating for Palestinians, especially on college campuses. ... Another scheduled November 2023 meeting between DOJ officials was dubbed "Post-9/11 Backlash Huddle," an email shows. Reports of antisemitic hate crimes reached an all-time high in 2023, according to the FBI. Anti-Jewish incidents accounted for a majority of hate crimes based on religion in 2023, while anti-Muslim and anti-Sikh cases comprised about 14% of them combined. Anti-Arab hate crimes made up less than half of racially-motivated incidents.

Now the left has taken that too far the other direction. You can't just love your old homeland while embracing American life anymore, you have to resist changing anything about yourself to fit into being American.
It's the old salad bowl analogy the left loves. But if you throw a lot of poop into the salad, because it's "your culture," at some point there's no more salad and everything just tastes like poop. Hopefully it's no one's lunchtime while they are reading this.

The argument against outlawing it is it will make things worse as people cut themselves off from the medical establishment, and simtigmatisation will not reduce rates, or contribute to better child health OR save the NHS money. So, you can want to ban on moral grounds, but to claim it is on practical grounds does not make sense.
AFAIK there is no major risk with one generation but it gets compounded when cousins marry cousins and their kids marry cousins etc.
No. If banned, the danger is immigrant cultures that practice this will shift to non-sanctioned marriages that provide no protections for women. Plus, they'll avoid medical care, which isn't fair to the child if born with defects.
Maybe stating the obvious to the commenters here, but you’re all aware you can have sex and even have a child without being married, right?
So this law solves… nothing really.

Also, I hated the movie's ending. It was building up to one of the kids or the gang leader dying, like the half French kid with a death wish, and yet no one died. They even have a literal chekov's gun and no one dies. The ending just peters out. Am I crazy for not loving the film? Is it one of those things you have to see in a seminal childhood moment, or it rings a little hollow? But all the performances were outstanding. Even Wil Wheaton was good, curse him, and I wanted to not like him since I have issues with the actor. And the themes are good. I just hated the wimpy ending.

Adam is fully in on the joke and is agreeing with it only further the deception.
And as for him being a holocaust denier, that was a running joke on the show. Adam would deny he was a holocaust denier, mention he had a bar mitzvah, and then hang his head in shame when Norm would then angrily point out that Adam had spent hours prior to the show talking about how "the shadows of the smokestacks at the concentration camps didn't line up" or some other sort of denier nonsense.
Norm and Adam were a great combination.

It certainly isn't what Guard leadership wants to be involved in. Politics aside, we have always been very trusted by the public, so anytime we appear to be in a position against citizens is something we try to avoid.
On the other hand, it will free up a bunch of Feds to go back to pursuing illegals, and protesters often don't want to fight Guardsmen as much, because they're generally more respected in the community, and many families have service members (fewer have cops), so it may help deescalate the violence.

I know, I just wanted more THERE there, if that makes sense. Like all the wheels were being set in motion, that they don't just see a dead body, they unwittingly go on an adventure that gets one of them killed and ends their innocent childhood forever. Like,the French kid gets shot in the scuffle or Ace gets shot. I have a feeling this would have hit home a lot harder when I was younger.
I adore the payoff of the sandlot, another growing up boy's tale. Absolutely adore it. It I grew up with that movie. It doesn't have the same satisfying ending.
I've also been watching a lot of horror lately, and maybe am looking for more dead bodies to show up than I should, even in a King story. And I also should have watched this before my distaste for King as a person turned into utter revulsion from his Twitter era. There's a lot of possibilities ruining it for me.
But like I said, stellar, stellar cast. It's fun to see the big names before they were big.

The English Civil Wars of the 1640's are hard to make sense of, and the English themselves have tried very hard to say as little about them as possible for the last few centuries. It's as if the entire country went mad, and 1/2 of every town and village in England tried to murder the other half, while the other half tried to murder them back. Armies rampaged across the landscape, mobs roamed at will through cities burning anything they took offense at, and ordinary civil authority collapsed. Cromwell put things back together by being strong enough to execute, on the spot, anyone who disagreed with one of his orders.

They burned an ancestral and beautiful German castle to the ground, as a warning to the owner, a descendent, that her "right wing" politics will not be tolerated. She hosted Samuel Alito and Victor Orban at the castle in the past.

Should the UK government ban first-cousin marriage?
So this one gets more amusing the more deeply you look at it.
Health advocates will tell you first cousin marriage, if you want kids, is a bad idea - you are too genetically close, but since Muslims do it the current British government doesn't want to take that health recommendation.
But why do Muslims do it? Well, it keeps resources in the family since you aren't sharing with "outsiders" - your "family tree" is an isolated block instead of a branching tree. This is more obvious if you are talking about land, but it holds for inherited wealth as well.
So, the left here is endorsing Muslims doing something that exists SPECIFICALLY to increase "income inequality"

I saw pics of traditional cultural dress for different middle eastern countries, before the extremist Muslims hijacked their religion and made all women wear the Burqa. Absolutely stunning! Rivals India and Southeast countries for beauty. And lots of bare skin.
And yes, any religion banning the love of dogs in our lives is just nonsense. Dogs are angels in disguise.
They are letting extremism decimate not just Western culture, but their own. It's tragic.

Solution: Non lethal force with guns that fire sticky goo or paint ball. But to make the rounds more effective, either inject or otherwise mix the sticky goo with Tarsal Gland Extracts.

Trump Invites Former Navy SEAL and Army Ranger to Primary Flaky Libertarian Saboteur Thomas Massie
I've had it with this grandstanding college-dorm bullshit artist.
Good. Related: In 2026 Schmolling news, CNBC's generic congressional schmoll shows the midterms race neck-and-neck, 48-47 for the Democrats, but of course that lead is well within the margin of error. Democrats lost one point from the last poll, and the GOP gained three.
President Donald Trump has officially thrown down the gauntlet in Kentucky, calling on former Navy SEAL and Army Ranger Ed Gallrein to challenge Rep. Thomas Massie in the 2026 Republican primary -- and promising his "Complete and Total Endorsement" if Gallrein enters the race. In a fiery Truth Social post Friday night, Trump tore into Massie, calling him a "Weak and Pathetic RINO" who routinely sides with Democrats against America First priorities. "Third Rate Congressman Thomas Massie, a Weak and Pathetic RINO from the Great Commonwealth of Kentucky, a place I love, and won big SIX TIMES, must be thrown out of office, ASAP!" Trump wrote. The president praised Gallrein as a "true America First Patriot," highlighting his background as a Navy SEAL, Army Ranger, and fifth-generation Kentucky farmer. "A Brave Combat Veteran, Ed knows the Wisdom and Courage required to Defend our Country, Support our Military/Veterans, and Ensure PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH," Trump said, adding that Gallrein "will fight tirelessly to Keep our now very Secure Border, SECURE, Stop Migrant Crime, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment." Trump also made clear that Gallrein's experience as a businessman and farmer makes him the kind of results-driven leader Congress needs. "He knows how to Create GREAT Jobs, Cut Taxes and Regulations, Promote MADE IN THE U.S.A., Support our Amazing Farmers and American Agriculture, Unleash American Energy Dominance, and Champion our Nation's Golden Age," Trump continued. Calling Massie a "totally ineffective LOSER," Trump declared, "CAPTAIN ED GALLREIN IS A WINNER WHO WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN... RUN, ED, RUN -- MAGA!" Gallrein, in a statement to Breitbart News, expressed gratitude for Trump's support and hinted at an announcement soon. "I'm honored by President Trump's support," he said. "He is doing an amazing job securing the border, lowering taxes, and making America great again. I will make an announcement on what's next soon!"

I think the reverse is more true: the comically feeble, impotent protests turned into votes against the Democraps. Nobody wants to back a loser. People want to back winners. Anyone who paid any attention to the NO KANGZ protests saw how few people showed up and how undesirable those few people were. Nobody wants to be part of a group of losers like that.

BREAKING: Potential mass shooting stopped at the Atlanta International Airport where a convicted felon allegedly showed up with an AR-15.
The man reportedly FaceTime called his family telling them about his plans.
The family then alerted the police who found the suspect's car blocking traffic outside the airport.
Police eventually found the man inside the airport and found the gun while searching his car.
"It was very busy and nobody saw anything so it seems this whole the whole incident was kept pretty quiet," Fox News reported.
"A lot of questions as to how this supposed convict and felon got his hands on that high powered semi-automatic rifle ... and this all happening during a government shutdown where airports nationwide are struggling to stay staffed."

Libertarians who only care about legalizing their vices drag down the good name of the rest of the party.
There is plenty of overlap between conservatives and libertarians in a Venn diagram. Pro constitution, small government, more liberty and personal choice, less government nanny state. But a lot of the pothead libertarians chickened out on the economic side after pot got legalized. Screw them and the bong they rode in on.

Jasmine Crockett has a better chance of being the nominee better than any of them.
I once thought Wes Moore had a shot, but after the Stolen Valor issue came out, realized his career was already dead. Media tried to cover it up, but it will come out in spades if he tries to mount a national campaign.
Kamala's real problem is that she's never even tried to mend fences with the donors who's $1.5 Billion she threw in a dumpster with a gallon of gasoline.

Believe me when I tell you the Dems are DESPERATE to win in 2028, and many believe a woman (especially of color!) can't win at the top of the ticket. Not a majority, but enough to really boost straight white "normal" candidates. They'll have a diverse token VP for representation, but enough are gun shy/brain broken about the nation being sexist and racist it may greatly affect their primaries.

Who got 75 million votes, was undermined by Joe Biden staying in the race too long, and is so real and brat.
Seriously, it's not white progressives in NY who are going to choose the nominee. If they did, Warren would have been the nominee in 2020.

DOGE recommended massive cuts.
Trump pushed for a BBB that contained no cuts.
Congress has done nothing to write DOGE reforms into law.
I really don't see Massive as the problem here.

Posted by: Victor Tango Kilo at October 20, 2025 04:07 PM (6PTYX)
DOGE cuts are discretionary spending - cuts to federal bureaucracy, etc. BBB was a reconciliation bill, under Senate budget rules you cannot cut discretionally, only mandatory. BBB was not a budget bill, it does not fund departments, it does not fund agencies or programs. What it did do is welfare reform to the tune of trillion of dollars, massive tax cuts, and some other stuff. They left the good stuff proposed by DOGE where it belongs, to rescissions package (s). People were harping on DOGE stuff being included where it does not belong, cannot belong.

She was only the nominee last time because she got DEI'd into the VP job and getting smoked when she ran in 2020.
She tore through a billion + in a month and a half and was doing worse the longer she campaigned. I hope they are dumb enough to run her again in 2028 but I doubt it.

Massie on the other hand never misses the chance to mouth off whenever he has some grievance with Trump, usually over some minor issue like federal funding for MIT. Even when he's right to disagree with Trump, Massie has zero political capital to do so and should stfu to focus on where he agrees with Trump and can move the ball.

Massie is out in the street, doesn't see a crowd but starts figuratively shooting anyway. Just like Democrats, literally.
If Massie had a critical mass of like-minded Congress Critters, then he would be effective. With the current composition, he is just an asshole.

First, he's not stupid. He's a tech genius, having invented a haptic device that allows you to use your sense of touch to interact with computer modeling software. He did that and created the company while he was still at MIT. Just one of his many technical achievements.
Second, he's anything but a RINO. At least not then, and nothing I've read has disabused me of that fact.
He may be an unregenerate Libertarian -- and to be honest, I've lost my patience with them -- but he was, let's just say, unpopular, back then back in Massachusetts among employees and others for his well-known political views.
In short, people marveled at his brains but Mass-types did not care for his politics. At all.
So, as I said, I don't care for what he's doing, especially when it comes to thwarting MAGA, but to say he's a stupid RINO is seriously wrong on both counts.
